Patoko’s Referral Program – What Is It? How Does It Work?

Your First 10 Rides Discounted 🚕

Use "WEB" as your referral code, for a free 50 Toko bonus.

You’ve heard about taking taxis, but have you ever been rewarded for taking them?

Patoko’s referral program takes your daily commute to the next level. Let’s break down how you can earn free rides and cash rewards just by sharing the app with friends. (You can also use our handy calculator here to see exactly what you could earn.)

Definitions for Patoko’s Program:

Toko: Our in-app rewards points

Referral: Someone referred by you to the Patoko app for a ride

Patoko: A Tirana-based Taxi App (and more.)

How It Works

Patoko’s referral system is straightforward. Each user gets a unique 3-4 character code. (Use code “WEB” if you haven’t been referred yet to start earning today.) When you share this code with a friend, both of you benefit. Here’s the breakdown:

  1. You tell your friend you can both benefit from their signup
  2. Your friend signs up using your code
  3. They take their first ride
  4. You both receive 50 tokos
  5. For each subsequent ride your friend takes, you earn another 50 tokos

The best part? You can earn up to 500 tokos per referral. That’s 500 toko in your pocket for each friend you bring on board.

The Power of Tokos

Think of tokos as digital rewards program within the Patoko app. With just 3-4 successful referrals, you could potentially earn enough for a free ride to the airport.

Referral in Action

To illustrate the potential of this program, let’s look at some hypothetical scenarios:

The Coffee Shop Networker


Imagine you’re a regular at your local coffee shop. You strike up a conversation with the barista about your smooth ride to work. You share your referral code, and soon, the entire staff is using Patoko for their commutes. Within a week, you’ve earned enough tokos for several free rides.

The Office Hero


You’re starting a new job, and transportation comes up during lunch. You mention Patoko and your referral code. By the end of the month, half your department is using the app, and you’ve earned enough tokos to cover your rides for weeks.

The Social Media Savvy


You post about your positive Patoko experience on social media, including your referral code. Friends from different circles sign up, and before you know it, you’re earning tokos from rides taken across Tirana.

Remember, these are fictional examples to spark your creativity. The real potential lies in your network and how you choose to share your Patoko experience.

Maximizing Your Referrals

To make the most of the program:

  1. Share your code widely (Don’t forget to disclose you get rewarded too!)
  2. Explain the benefits to friends
  3. Remind referrals to take their first ride
  4. Keep track of your toko balance

Don’t have a friend’s code? Use “WEB” when signing up to still receive referral bonuses.

The Ripple Effect

Think of each referral as a stone thrown into a pond. The initial splash (first ride) creates 50 tokos for both you and your friend. But the ripples (subsequent rides) continue to bring you 50 tokos each time. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.

Conclusion: You’re Patoko Referral-Ready

Patoko’s referral program turns every ride into an opportunity. By sharing your code, you’re not just saving money on your own trips – you’re helping friends discover a reliable transportation option while earning rewards. It’s a win-win situation that keeps the wheels turning for everyone involved. (Sorry for the pun.)

Start sharing your code today and watch your toko balance grow. Who knows? Your next airport ride might just be on the house.
