Patuva – Carpool the Balkans

Heading to Skopje, Sofia or Thessaloniki this week? Find a driver going your way, reserve your seat in the app, and pay the fare in cash when you ride.

Closer than you think.

Patuva connects drivers with empty seats to passengers heading the same way - across North Macedonia, Greece, Bulgaria, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro and Romania. Turn a trip you're already taking into a shared one: split the cost, cut the emissions, and travel with company instead of alone.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Search a route, or post the trip you're driving.
2. Request a seat. The driver approves you.
3. Meet up and ride. You pay the small platform fee by card in the app - the ride fare itself is paid to the driver in cash. No hidden charges.

WHY PATUVA Real people, not anonymous accounts. Verified profiles and two-way reviews - you rate the driver, the driver rates you. Cross-border by design. One app for the whole region, in your language (8 supported). Recurring trips. Drive the same commute every week? Post it once and Patuva creates every date for you. Ride requests and route alerts. No ride yet? Post what you need, or get notified the moment a driver covers your route. Cost, not profit. Fares cover fuel and wear - Patuva is for sharing costs, not running a taxi.

ROAD TRIPS Beyond everyday rides, plan multi-day journeys together. A host sets the route, dates and stops; travellers join for a small flat fee. Plan it once, travel together.

SAFETY & TRUST Women-only rides - drivers can offer trips open to women passengers only. Report and block anyone, any content, at any time. Contact details are shared only once a booking is confirmed. Follow-my-trip links let you share your live trip with family.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES The fare is cash, driver to passenger - Patuva never touches it. The only online charge is a small platform fee for the match. Clear, upfront, and refundable if the ride doesn't happen.

Patuva is a technology platform that connects independent drivers and passengers. It is not a taxi or transport company.
