Traficar links ten cities with one-way trips, but only for people with a PESEL or Polish residence card.
Parking and fuel
Bolt: end the trip on a public spot inside its Warsaw zone; municipal paid street parking is fine.
Never end a trip in underground, barrier or private car parks (Bolt terms).
Before you go
Traficar, the only service in most Polish cities, asks for a PESEL or Polish residence-card number and a Polish-bank or mObywatel check, not for short visits.
Bolt Drive: verify your licence, an ID and a selfie in the normal Bolt app before you go.
Bolt doesn't publish which foreign licences it accepts. The app tells you when you verify.
4Mobility now works as a rental company (from one day, with delivery), not as car sharing.
