Chrzanow for couriers: A4 bypasses, Kasztelania, the Fablok legacy

Slot-free Glovo in the locomotive town

Right by the A4 motorway, about 40 km west of Krakow, lies a town that had 33,193 residents (as of 31.12.2025). Here you deliver food with Glovo, which has needed no slot booking since 14 September 2026. When more apps launch in Chrzanow, you can add them through the same settlement partner.

38 km² and bike paths along the bypasses

Chrzanow covers 38.31 km², so runs between the estates and the centre are short and a bike or e-bike will do. A path follows the 3 km western bypass and the Balińska–Zielona section, and since February 2024 the Chechłostrada has been under construction along the Chechło stream (stage 1: ul. Podwale–Pogorska).

The A4, the DK79 and paid parking downtown

You leave the A4 at the Chrzanow junction on ul. Balińska or at Byczyna, where the western bypass leads. The north-eastern bypass crosses the DK79 on a viaduct. Downtown, since 19.11.2025 you pay Mon–Fri 8:00–16:00: 3 zł for the first hour, with the first 20 minutes free on a zero-fee ticket.

Północ, Południe, Kąty and Kościelec

Most addresses are in the housing estates: Północ (built from 1961), Południe (from 1979) and Trzebińska, plus Kąty, one of the largest estates. Then there is Kolonia Fabryczna by the old Fablok works, Rospontowa and Kościelec. In 2023 Kąty residents complained that evening buses stop early, so your own wheels help.

The Rynek, al. Henryka and Kasztelania

In the centre you pick up around the Rynek and on al. Henryka, for years the main shopping street. The other hub is the Kasztelania retail park at ul. Szpitalna 45a — opened in 2020 with 375 parking spaces and extended to 10,000 m² in 2026. There is also a shopping centre on ul. Trzebińska.

Fablok, Poland's first locomotive works

Founded in Chrzanow in 1919, Fablok built over 10,000 steam and diesel locomotives. After its 2013 bankruptcy, the plant and its roughly 20 ha site were bought in 2019 by Martech Plus. The railway arrived in 1847 with the Krakow–Silesia line; the main station, Chrzanów Główny, is on ul. Fabryczna.

Questions about courier work in Chrzanow

How long has Glovo in Chrzanow worked without a schedule?
Since 14 September 2026. From that day on you do not book slots — you switch the app on whenever it fits around everything else. As of October 2026 Glovo is the only app you deliver with in Chrzanow; when others arrive, you connect them through the same settlement partner.
What earnings can a delivery rider expect in Chrzanow?
You typically take home 25–55 zł an hour — that is after deductions, not gross. With Uber Eats in heavy rain or snow it can reach 60–80 zł/h. Chrzanow covers just over 38 km², so most runs are short hops between the estates and the centre, and getting to a pickup does not eat half your hour. Work out your own figure in the earnings calculator.
Bike, scooter or car — what works best in Chrzanow?
Around the centre, Północ and Południe a bike is comfortable, and there is a separate path along the western bypass and the Balińska–Zielona section. Out to Kąty, Kościelec or Kasztelania a scooter is often quicker. By car on weekdays 8:00–16:00, mind the zone: first 20 minutes free, then 3 zł for the first hour and more for each next one.
Where do runs in Chrzanow take longer than the map suggests?
Near the A4 exits and on the DK79, where town traffic mixes with through traffic, and downtown, where on weekdays you have to find a spot in the paid zone. Kąty and Kościelec also take longer to reach. If you get to your shift by bus, check the timetable — in 2023 evening services to Kąty ended early.
At what times of day is there most work in Chrzanow?
The first wave comes around midday, the second in the late afternoon and evening, when the town gets back from work and school. On Saturdays demand spreads across the day, with plenty of runs starting at Kasztelania and around the Rynek. Rainy days usually push orders up too.
What do you need to do to start riding in Chrzanow?
You sign up online with a settlement partner: fill in a form, upload your documents and sign an umowa zlecenie (civil contract). The partner then activates you in the apps you choose — Uber Eats usually within 24–72 hours. There is no need to travel to an office in Krakow, about 40 km away — you sort everything out on your phone and can take your first run right from the Rynek.
