Bolt has just launched something pretty revolutionary in Kenya — the first dash cam program of its kind that hooks drivers up with advanced safety tech at a steep discount of 75%!
Thanks to their collaboration with Driver Technologies, Bolt is helping drivers turn their phones into both front-facing and interior dash cameras. This means better accountability during rides and clearer proof if anything goes wrong. Plus, all videos are stored safely in the cloud, so there’s no need to worry about losing important footage.
One of the perks for Driver Partners includes a free month-long trial of the awesome premium dash cam app. After that, it’s a sweet deal at just Ksh386/month, which offers unlimited trip footage backup, access, and sharing options via the Driver Cloud.
The dash cam app runs in the background (with a Picture-in-Picture mode) to remind drivers that they’re recording, all while keeping the Bolt app functionality intact.
According to Dimmy Kanyankole, Bolt’s General Manager for Rides, drivers have been eager for more security and peace of mind on the road. “Dash cams bring not just safety but also a level of accountability to the trips,” he shared. He pointed out the hefty price tag for good devices has always been a hurdle. Collaborating with Driver Technologies to offer a budget-friendly option aims to resolve this issue, giving drivers the tools they need to promote safer trips and build trust with their passengers at a lower cost.
Enhancing Safety with Bolt’s Dash Cams
This partnership doesn’t stop at just providing cameras; it represents a broader commitment from Bolt to cut down on safety incidents and arm driver partners with tangible evidence for both customer support and police interactions. Plus, both interior and exterior recordings will be invaluable for insurance claims when accidents happen.
Driver Technologies is on board to give IT support as well as help with data handling.
Marcus Newbury, Co-Founder and COO at Driver Technologies, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating, “We’re thrilled to team up with Bolt to offer their drivers a dependable dash cam solution that suits their needs — and we’ve made it affordable!”
It’s also important to note that this new dash cam feature is part of an ongoing effort by Bolt to enhance safety, which includes things like Rider Verification and Trusted Contacts functionalities already in their app.
If you’re looking to get this dash cam app, it’s available for both iOS and Android under the Driver Section: Driving and Dash Cam App.
Bolt connects users in 600 cities across 50+ countries, offering ride-hailing services, scooters, e-bikes, and car rentals to over 200 million customers worldwide, with 4.5 million drivers on their platform—all aimed at transitioning towards shared mobility solutions.
Bolt’s mission is to provide better transportation options that go beyond just personal vehicle ownership, covering everything from food deliveries to corporate travel needs.
