Yes, Bolt drivers can rate customers after each trip, similar to how riders rate drivers. This two-way rating system is common in ride-hailing platforms.
Here’s how it generally works:
How it works:
- After a trip ends, both the driver and the rider have the opportunity to rate each other (usually on a scale of 1–5 stars).
- Ratings are anonymous — you won’t see who gave you a specific rating.
- Feedback can sometimes include tags (e.g., “polite,” “late,” “clean,” etc.) to give more context.
Why drivers rate passengers:
- Accountability – Encourages respectful behavior from riders.
- Safety and comfort – Drivers can flag issues like rudeness, uncleanliness, or unsafe behavior.
- Future matching – In some cases, drivers may avoid passengers with consistently low ratings, though this varies by platform policy.

- Punctuality – Being ready when the driver arrives.
- Politeness – Respectful interaction.
- Cleanliness – Not leaving trash in the car.
- Accurate pickup/drop-off locations.
- Not making unreasonable requests outside the app’s terms.
