Knurow for couriers: the DW921, Szczygłowice, the retail park on ul. 1 Maja

Glovo and Uber Eats in a mining town between Gliwice and Rybnik

Gliwice is about 8 km away and Rybnik about 16 km, while the town itself has 34,919 residents (as of 31.12.2025). Couriers here deliver for Glovo and Uber Eats; since 5 October 2026 Glovo has no slots. A single settlement partner lets you run both apps at once.

A compact town on the Bierawka

Knurow sits on the Silesian Upland by the Bierawka river and covers about 34 km², so trips inside town are usually short and a bike or e-bike does the job day to day. For longer runs, say towards Gliwice, a scooter or car is more comfortable.

The DW921, DK78 and motorways next door

The DW921 runs through Knurow: in town it is ul. Rybnicka, Niepodległości and Dworcowa. The DK78 passes nearby, and the A1 and A4 cross not far away. The mine brings heavy commuter traffic. In June 2026 road crews began raising the pedestrian crossing on ul. Koziełka, so slow down there.

Old Knurow, Krywałd and Szczygłowice

Addresses are split between the centre with Stary Knurów and two districts joined to the town in 1951: Krywałd and Szczygłowice. Szczygłowice is home to Dom Kultury Knurów at ul. Górnicza 1. The town has a rail line to Rybnik, and PLK plans a new Knurów Kopalnia stop by the end of 2027.

The retail park at ul. 1 Maja 74

The biggest retail spot is the DL park at ul. 1 Maja 74, on the edge of town by the main exit road. It has about 9,500 m² of leasable space and 300 parking spaces, and food outlets have operated there since 2021, so parking for a pickup is easy.

A coking coal town

A mine was founded here in 1903, and a second one opened in Szczygłowice in 1961. Today both form KWK Knurów-Szczygłowice, which has belonged to JSW since 2014 and produces coking coal. After a shift, Zacisze Leśne offers the Zatopy pond, more than 26 ha in size.

Questions about courier work in Knurow

Who can you deliver for as a courier in Knurow?
Glovo and Uber Eats (as of October 2026). Since 5 October 2026 Glovo in Knurow has worked without slots, so you log in whenever it suits you that day. You can run both apps side by side through one settlement partner.
Can you earn well delivering in Knurow?
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. The town covers only about 34 km², so trips are short, and combining Glovo with Uber Eats means less waiting for the next order. Work out your own figure in the earnings calculator.
Bike or scooter: what works best in Knurow?
Between the centre, Krywałd and Szczygłowice a regular bike or e-bike is enough, as the town is compact. A scooter or car helps when orders take you beyond the town limits, for example towards Gliwice, about 8 km away.
Where should you take care on the road in Knurow?
On the DW921, meaning ul. Rybnicka, Niepodległości and Dworcowa, where traffic is heaviest, including commuters heading to the mine. On ul. Koziełka slow down at the pedestrian crossing that was being raised in 2026. In winter take it easy between districts and when joining the DK78.
When are there the most orders in Knurow?
The peak usually comes at lunchtime and in the early evening, while on Saturdays and Sundays orders keep coming through the day; rain and cold add to demand. At busy times it pays to stay close to the retail park at ul. 1 Maja 74 and the centre.
How do you start working as a courier in Knurow?
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. In Knurow you can switch on slot-free Glovo and Uber Eats straight after activation.
