 "skip_if": "you operate in the US only (network coverage), or you need guaranteed fixed-price corporate transport contracts",
 "honest_knock": "The honest boundary is geography: Bolt's network is Europe/Africa-centric across 600+ cities, so US-only operations should look elsewhere, and ride availability varies by city — pilot it on your team's actual routes. Pricing is dynamic like all ride-hailing; the business layer adds control and receipts, not fixed corporate fares, so budget-predictability comes from your spend limits, not from locked prices.",

One line the marketing does not carry, but Bolt's own support pages do: Bolt charges a service fee on every trip made with the business payment method, billed at the start of the following month. On credit card it is deducted automatically and does not appear on the individual trip invoice — it arrives as a separate service fee statement on the 3rd of each month; on postpaid it sits on the monthly invoice. The amount is not published. Still commitment-free to pilot, but ‘you only pay for the rides’ is not the whole bill.",
