Ride smarter: talabat Pro offers 10% discount on Bolt trips across UAE
New partnership brings daily convenience to users' fingertips
DUBAI's digital convenience just got a major upgrade. Two giants of everyday services, talabat and Bolt, have come together in a strategic alliance to deliver smarter living and everyday value to UAE customers.
The collaboration will provide talabat pro subscribers with exclusive discounts on Bolt rides, making urban mobility more accessible and integrated with users’ daily routines.
Through this partnership, subscribers of talabat pro can now receive 10% off on 10 Bolt rides per month, with each ride discount capped at Dh15. These savings aim to make transportation more affordable, especially for users who already rely on talabat for food delivery, groceries, and dining out. By merging two essential services – mobility and delivery – the initiative aligns with Dubai’s broader ambitions to become a smarter, more connected city.
Seamless city living
This collaboration reflects a growing trend in the UAE towards interconnected digital lifestyles. talabat pro, the premium membership tier of talabat, already offers free delivery from numerous restaurants and shops, alongside exclusive deals across its ecosystem. Now, users will be able to move as easily as they shop and dine, all within the apps they already trust and use daily.
“This partnership with Bolt is just the start of enhanced benefits for our loyal talabat pro customers,” said Tomaso Rodriguez, CEO of talabat. He emphasised the company’s focus on partnerships that bring real value and innovation to communities across the region.
Bolt’s services complement this goal by offering a reliable and affordable transport solution already integrated into the lives of millions. In Dubai, Bolt operates in collaboration with Dubai Taxi Company (DTC), offering a smooth, transparent, and flexible ride-hailing experience through its user-friendly app.
Supporting urban ambitions
As part of Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan, the city is actively pushing for more sustainable, tech-driven urban solutions. The talabat-Bolt alliance serves this vision by integrating delivery and mobility – two daily essentials – into a more cohesive experience.
“By partnering with talabat, a platform already woven into people’s daily routines, we’re meeting users where they are,” said Mansoor Alfalasi, CEO of Dubai Taxi Company. “This partnership allows us to offer even more value, making everyday mobility more accessible while supporting Dubai’s vision for smarter, more connected urban living.”
Bolt operates in more than 600 cities across 50 countries, with a customer base exceeding 200 million. It currently supports 4.5 million drivers globally and offers an array of shared mobility solutions, including ride-hailing, scooter and e-bike rentals, and car hire.
Market expansion
The partnership also comes at a significant time for talabat, which recently completed its IPO on the Dubai Financial Market in December 2024. With over 6.5 million active users across the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Iraq, and Egypt, talabat is well-positioned to lead innovations in lifestyle services across the MENA region. The company is a subsidiary of Delivery Hero SE, a global leader in the food delivery sector.
