But it said it had the reg number ‘FAK 3TAXI’.
The driver – called Miroslav – turned up to take her and her boyfriend and the cab had it on the plate too.
Shocked Gloria of Bexley, southeast London said: “I was taken back.
“We thought maybe he had entered it as a joke on the app but his actual number plate wouldn’t say it.
“But it did.”
She also told What’s The Jam: “I showed my boyfriend and he laughed.
“He told me I should get out of the car and take a video before we drove off.
Product manager Gloria added: “To be honest if I was alone I would’ve probably told one of my friends to watch my location.
“I wasn’t thinking quickly enough to cancel and order another because we didn’t think it would be real.
“I only checked the reg when he arrived which is what most people do I think.
“The driver was really kind.
“But in these situations especially in another country and when it’s a long ride to the airport it’s probably best to not take the risk, even if it’s a joke.”
A spokesperson for Bolt said: “Drivers are self-employed and may choose their own custom number plates.
“Bolt doesn’t own vehicles.”
