Entrepreneurs and individuals who aspire to increase their income potential. The opportunity to own a car while driving for Bolt offers a great transformation in the e-hailing business landscape. The rent-to-own system that companies such as Bolt have undertaken is an exciting business model that allows drivers to obtain ownership while also generating income through ride-hailing.

Here is how you can spark your entrepreneurial journey with this amazing e-hailing rent-to-own opportunity.

Ride Your Way to Vehicle Ownership

The interesting aspect of collaborations such as the partnership between Bolt and MyNextCar is the possibility of a rent-to-own model. This scheme makes it easier to become an owner of a car, allowing you to start earning as a Bolt driver while working towards owning a brand-new car.
