"Bolt Drive · Daily" is Bolt's day rental: many kilometres included, fuel at your cost, back to the city it started in. "+ app fee": an intercity or zone fee the operator shows only in the app. "Not allowed": the operator's terms don't let the car end there. Prices for an economy car on a trip starting two weeks from now (November 2026), with fuel and every fee each side charges; the rental is the typical price booked online with its standard insurance. How we calculate.
