News & Reviews:   Bolt

As fuel prices and the overall cost of living continue to rise in Malaysia, ride-hailing platform Bolt is rolling out a series of initiatives aimed at easing the burden on daily commuters. The latest measures focus on lowering ride costs while improving flexibility, as more Malaysians look for affordable alternatives to private car usage.

Bolt Malaysia has launched its new instant Early Cash Out feature, giving eligible partner drivers the ability to withdraw their earnings anytime, any day of the week. This move, already implemented in other Bolt markets, underscores the company’s commitment to improving financial flexibility and independence for its driver partners.

It has already been a few months since Bolt made its debut in Malaysia back in November 2024. This week, Bolt has officially rolled out Bolt Business in Malaysia, introducing a smarter, more transparent way for companies to handle employee travel.

When it comes to e-hailing services, most people will think of Grab. Well, it looks like we have another competitor in the market. According to sources, Bolt has already launched in Malaysia but without telling anyone.

When it comes to e-hailing rides in Malaysia, most people would think of Grab and AirAsia. However, there may be another player coming into the industry. A company called Bolt just posted a job post on LinkedIn two weeks ago, looking for a country manager position.
