TravelPay Bolt with a ZyloCard virtual card
Bolt keeps a card on file for automatic charges and drops a pre-authorization at ride start, so your main card sits on the account and a tight card can flunk the hold. Some regions reject foreign cards.
Bolt runs ride-hailing, scooters, and food delivery across its markets.
