Both are free to set up. Both centralize ride billing. The difference is geography — and for European teams, the answer is usually Bolt.

Since both platforms are free to activate with no monthly fees or contracts, there's no reason to choose exclusively. Set up Bolt Business as your primary platform for European and African travel where it has stronger coverage and lower pricing. Keep Uber for Business active for North America and markets where Bolt doesn't operate.
Employees simply use whichever app is available in their location. Both bill centrally to the company account. Both integrate with SAP Concur and Expensify. The cost of running both is zero.
The practical playbook
Set Bolt Business as default in Europe, Africa, and Asia. Set Uber for Business as default in the US, Canada, and Latin America. Communicate this to your team once — they figure the rest out themselves since the apps look identical from the rider's perspective.
Recommended: Set up Bolt Business first
Free, no contract, no minimum spend. If your team is anywhere in Europe, Africa, or Asia, Bolt typically delivers better coverage and lower pricing than Uber in those markets.
