Bolt is launching a new feature that will allow people to send and receive packages on demand.

The Bolt Send feature will enable customers to send forgotten items, gifts or small parcels to third parties quickly using the Bolt app.

Users will be able to access this feature by tapping on a small parcel icon in the regular app. When sending a package, the sender will place an order the same way they would for a ride-hailing trip, adding the pick-up point and destination, agreeing to the price, and giving the driver the parcel for delivery to the destination.

People can request a delivery in the same way.

“At Bolt, we know that replacing as many reasons to use a private car as possible is critical to achieving our mission to make better cities for people,” country general manager Ryan Mahoney said.

“With parcel delivery through Bolt Send, we take another step towards our mission by making it easier than ever for our customers to send and receive parcels quickly through the Bolt app.”
