How hard is it to cancel Bolt?
Bolt scores 72/100 (grade B) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the EE, a clearly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via in-app, live chat.
Bolt Plus (monthly subscription) can be cancelled entirely within the Bolt app: tap profile → Bolt Plus/Subscriptions → Cancel subscription. Cancellation must be done at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid the next charge; benefits remain active until end of the current billing period. A 14-day right-of-withdrawal window applies from the membership start date, cancelling within 14 days entitles the user to a full refund (credited to Bolt Balance); cancelling after 14 days results in no refund but full access until period end. Bolt Passes (e-bike/scooter) cannot be self-serve cancelled, users must contact Support via in-app chat and request cancellation within 14 days of purchase; passes cannot be paused or transferred. Account deletion is self-serve in-app (Settings → Privacy → Delete my account) or via the GDPR data-subject request form; Bolt retains invoices and payment records per legal requirements.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
