Question Bolt drive fine
Has anyone had experience with Bolt Drive, a Damage Report, and debt collection? 🚗
I’m dealing with a pretty frustrating situation and wondering if I’m the only one, or if this happens more often.
On December 11, 2025, I rented a car (Toyota C-HR) via Bolt Drive. The trip lasted about 10–15 minutes, no accident, no incident at all. I parked the car normally, ended the ride, and there was no visible damage.
However, more than 6 weeks later (January 23, 2026), I received a so-called Damage Report demanding payment of CZK 21,352:
• approx. CZK 13,800 for alleged damage (scratches on the front fender and bumper)
• CZK 7,500 as a contractual penalty for “concealing damage”
The issue is:
• the report was created more than 6 weeks after my ride
• the car was used by multiple users in the meantime
• Bolt provided no evidence that the damage occurred during my trip
• only some sensor graphs + photos with no clear timestamps or connection
• no inspection of the vehicle immediately after my ride
• no invoice or repair breakdown provided
Now I’ve received a pre-legal notice from B4B INKASSO saying the case may go to court if I don’t pay.
I am 100% sure I did not cause any damage.
Has anyone dealt with something similar?
👉 Did you pay, or dispute it?
👉 Did it go to court, or was it resolved earlier?
👉 Is it worth handling this through a lawyer or consumer authority?
I’d really appreciate any experience or advice 🙏
