Hi All
Not sure if this will help anyone but just in case
We have used BOLT all over Europe for the last couple of years and never had a problem, however on arrival at Madrid airport last week we were unable to use it without entering my passport number first, as we had already put this away and were loaded down with baggage we just grabbed a taxi at the set price of €33.
Bolt back from Hotel was €18
Unless you can find anywhere to enter it beforehand it comes up after you accept the ride but before it takes payment. New screen just asks you to put in identifying details which can be passport or driving license, just put in the number and it goes straight to the payment screen.

Always a good idea to have a copy of your passport saved elsewhere for such reference purposes.0

it may well be a credibility check too, for example a few months ago arriving at BKK i couldn't book a car until i took, and uploaded, a pic of the bolt waiting area outside the airportLive each day like its your last because one day you'll be right1
