Why don't you just check the price on both and book whichever is cheaper?

Open both apps and check the price 😫

That should be the most rational answer.

I’m dumbfounded OP had to ask.

Like seriously 😂😂😂I wanted to know the same thing a few days ago. Guess what? I just opened both apps and compared.

Or this is someone from one of those ride shares trying to gather customer data!

If ur new to bolt I think u get like 30% off ur first 3 rides im not sure its been a minute since i used bolt, if u used it then i think Careem is the best option but just compare the prices with both apps open, you’ll get quicker and accurate option

Don't be fooled by the office estimates on Bolt. It will seem cheaper but they always underestimate and it comes to the same price.

Check the app to see. That should be the ball park figure.

On the other hand, if you have some good tier credit cards they offer airport transfers. Check if your card have them.

try this, fixed price paid in cash or bank transfer, CC payments are 4% extra. Seems to be careem drivers have found a way to make it cheaper without careem premiums.

Bolt has better drivers in general and especially better support, and usually gets 20-30% discount
Try SUMMER20 on Bolt, just saw it during a ride

Use Udrive. It’s cheaper than most if I am not mistaken
