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.
