Are you looking to drive for Bolt in London? Have you sorted everything, except for an appropriate vehicle?
Here at Westgate Hire, our main goal is to get you the perfect vehicle for your private hire driving needs, as quickly and stress-free as reasonably possible.
For a vehicle to be eligible for use with Bolt, it needs to meet a number of strict requirements. Finding a reliable, affordable vehicle that meets these standards can be exceptionally difficult, which is where our service comes in.
Here at Westgate Hire, we provide fully compliant vehicles that are ready to be used from the get-go. So long as you can afford the small deposit and the first week’s rental costs, you will be able to access a wide range of vehicles, depending on your personal and professional preferences.
We don’t just provide you with a car. We handle vehicle repairs, licensing, insurance, MOTs, and breakdown support, leaving you with the sole task of actually driving the vehicle and managing your day-to-day work with Bolt.
Many drivers find that having this kind of support makes working as a private hire driver much less stressful, helping to transform it into a truly sustainable and rewarding career.
Not all Bolt drivers will want to provide exactly the same service, or drive exactly the same vehicle.
Whether you’re looking for a premium vehicle to drive for Bolt Luxury, or a 7-seater to drive for Bolt XL, you’ll find the perfect car for your needs in our fleet.
Each of our vehicles is fully approved to drive with Bolt, meaning that if you want to change at some point in your contract to try out another vehicle, you absolutely can.
Whether you’d just like to ask us a few questions to know more about our Bolt PCO car hire service or you know exactly which vehicle you want and would like to get the contract process started, reach out for a chat today.
A member of our team will be able to go through any questions you have and get you sorted with the perfect vehicle for your Bolt driving needs, as quickly as possible.
