Which country is Bolt app from?

Bolt is an Estonian mobility company that offers ride-hailing, micromobility rental, food and grocery delivery (via the Bolt Food app), and carsharing services. The company is headquartered in Tallinn and operates in over 500 cities in more than 45 countries in Europe, Africa, Western Asia and Latin America.



The Bolt app (formerly known as Taxify) is originally from Estonia. It was founded in 2013 by Markus Villig in Tallinn, the country's capital, which is world-renowned as a major hub for technology and digital startups (it is also the birthplace of Skype). In 2026, Bolt has grown into a "European Super App," offering a massive range of services beyond its original ride-hailing core, including electric scooter and e-bike rentals, food delivery (Bolt Food), grocery delivery (Bolt Market), and car-sharing (Bolt Drive). The company is headquartered in Tallinn but operates in over 850 cities across 50 countries in Europe, Africa, Western Asia, and Latin America. Bolt is unique in the mobility sector because it focuses heavily on being a "low-cost" alternative to Uber for both drivers and passengers, often charging lower commissions. In 2026, Bolt is also a major player in the "green mobility" space, with a massive fleet of shared electric vehicles and a commitment to carbon-neutral operations in most of its European markets.
