Dubai: Passengers in Dubai can now get up to 30 per cent cash back when they hail a cab using the Bolt app.
Dubai Taxi Company (DTC) has expanded its strategic partnership with Bolt, the global ride-hailing platform, by integrating over 6,000 taxis into the Bolt app.
This includes People of Determination Taxis and Ladies & Family (Pink) Taxis, making inclusive and reliable transport more accessible than ever across the emirate.
Big discount
To celebrate this expansion, Bolt is offering 30% cashback on users’ first three taxi rides, with no surge pricing, a strong incentive as Dubai’s demand for seamless, app-based transport continues to rise.
With the integration, residents and tourists alike can now book DTC taxis through the Bolt app. This will give passengers access to transparent pricing, accurate routing via Bolt’s proprietary mapping system, and advanced in-app safety features such as emergency buttons, live tracking, and a driver rating system that promotes high service standards.
Promoting e-booking
The initiative aligns with the Dubai Government’s goal of transitioning 80% of taxi trips to e-booking platforms and forms a key part of DTC’s 2025—2029 strategic roadmap.
That plan aims to solidify DTC’s position as the largest taxi operator in the UAE and a digital transportation leader in the region’s estimated Dh6 billion taxi and e-hailing market.
Driving innovation
Ammar Al Braiki, Chief Operations Officer of Dubai Taxi Company, commented: “Integrating more than 6,000 DTC vehicles with the Bolt platform marks a significant leap toward our vision of building the UAE’s largest e-hailing network. This step reflects our commitment to digital transformation, convenience, and service excellence across Dubai.”
Looking to the future, Al Braiki also revealed plans to expand Bolt’s reach beyond Dubai into other emirates and new mobility verticals, further supporting Dubai’s smart and sustainable city goals.
G J Kistemaker, Bolt’s Vice President for Partner Markets and MENA, added: “This strengthened partnership with DTC reaffirms our shared focus on innovation and customer-centric transport solutions. By combining Bolt’s tech ecosystem with DTC’s trusted fleet, we’re making mobility more efficient, inclusive, and accessible, paving the way for smart urban living in Dubai and beyond.”
