From today, New Zealanders can subscribe to Bolt Plus, a new monthly membership designed to make everyday travel more affordable.
For NZ$5.99 a month, members receive 10% cashback on all regular rides and 25% cashback on airport rides, making Bolt Plus the best-value rideshare membership currently available in the country.
The launch comes as more New Zealanders embrace subscription services for everyday essentials. Transport is no exception, with the cost of living crisis and shifting commuting patterns, Kiwis are looking for smarter, more predictable travel options.
Bolt Plus also includes three free cancellations every month, giving riders flexibility when plans change or wait times vary during busy periods.
“Bolt Plus reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering affordable, reliable and flexible mobility solutions tailored to local needs,” says Laurent Koerge, Bolt Director of Expansion & Franchise. “By rewarding riders for every trip and introducing benefits that enhance convenience and predictability, we are strengthening Bolt’s position as the most value-driven rideshare platform in New Zealand.”
Bolt has seen strong demand since launching their flight tracking feature at Auckland Airport. Combined with the introduction of Scheduled Rides, Bolt Plus forms part of a broader push to make on-demand mobility more accessible and more personalised to local needs.
Since entering the New Zealand market earlier this year, Bolt has introduced a series of updates to improve the rider experience, including new safety tools, value-focused pricing and travel reliability features.
Bolt Plus adds a membership option that reflects how New Zealanders are using rideshare services today, whether for commuting, late-night travel, school runs or airport connections. New members can try Bolt Plus free for the first month.
