Bolt has introduced Bolt Send, a convenient service for sending small packages and gifts in Johannesburg North.
Launched just after their South Africa and Nigeria food delivery shutdowns, it operates through the Bolt app and accepts cash or card payments.
This strategic expansion leverages the success of Bolt’s ride-hailing platform and utilizes a fleet of Bajaj Qutes.
It creates additional earning opportunities for drivers while aiming to exceed user expectations with a reliable, on-demand delivery solution.
Using Bolt Send is simple: tap the parcel icon, enter pickup and delivery locations, choose Bolt Send, and confirm. You’ll be notified when the driver arrives and can then share journey details with the recipient.
“This leverages the popularity of Bajaj vehicles to offer a dedicated delivery solution, aligning with Bolt’s commitment to efficiency and innovation,” says Bolt Africa’s Public Relations Manager, Sandra Suzanne Buyole.
Ms Buyole further highlights that this initiative provides drivers with an extra income stream during challenging economic times.
Pricing and operation are based on distance and demand. Please note that Bolt does not offer insurance for lost, damaged, or stolen packages.
Parcels must be under 60x40x40cm and valued at R1,500 ($79.45) or less.
