Uber Driver Claims & Bolt Driver Claims
We are here to assist
Fairmont Legal’s proven track record, having successfully represented drivers claim against Uber, means we are well placed to assist Bolt Drivers.
If you are/were an Uber driver or you have provided any type of service as a worker under short-term contracts, our team of experts can help you make a claim in the employment tribunal to recover payments which you are rightfully owed.
The same now extends to those driving for Bolt.
In a judgment handed down on 8th November 2024, the employment tribunal ruled that Bolt drivers are not, as Bolt tried to argue, self-employed contractors running their own businesses but are in fact “workers”. This ruling grants drivers the right to holiday pay and minimum wage, which they did not have previously.
We will act for you under a “no win no fee” agreement, meaning you don’t pay us a penny unless you win your claim. If successful, we will deduct 25% plus VAT from your compensation for our legal fees.

The ruling in Uber
On 19th February 2021, the Supreme Court confirmed that Uber drivers are ‘workers’ and not self-employed contractors. The Court also ordered Uber to consider its drivers as ‘workers’ from the time they log on to the app, until they log off including the time typically spent waiting.
The ruling in Bolt
Similarly, the Employment Tribunal Judgment of 8th November 2024 in respect of Bolt Drivers affords Bolt drivers the same protection entitling drivers to basic employment rights including:
- Minimum wage for their full working day (not the number of customers obtained)
- 6 weeks paid annual leave per year
- Unlawful deductions from wages
- Other employment rights afforded to workers
