Koscian for couriers: a pedestrian street by the Rynek, the S5 bypass, short trips across the estates

Glovo with no slots in the home of Koscian cloth

In the 15th century Koscian cloth received the first trademark in Polish history. Today the town has 22,956 residents (as of 31.12.2025), and food is delivered by Glovo — with no slots since 5 October 2026. One settlement partner lets you add other apps too, for example if you also ride in Poznan.

Flat, compact, best by bike

The town lies 75–85 m above sea level, so there are practically no climbs, and an area of 9 km² means short trips. Your own bike or e-bike is enough. South of town, along the Koscian Canal, field roads can be unpaved — no place for a road bike.

The S5 skirts the town to the west

Through traffic uses the S5 expressway with the Kościan Północ junction (DW308 towards Grodzisk Wlkp.) and Kościan Południe. The Poznan–Wroclaw railway runs through town. In July 2026 a new 27.5 m bridge opened in Kiełczewo, in Koscian rural municipality; the old one had been shut since June 2025.

Estates on 901 hectares

Koscian covers 901 ha with about 2,500 residents per km², so addresses are packed close together. Many orders go to blocks of flats on os. Piastowskie, os. Jagiellońskie and os. Konstytucji 3 Maja. Czempiń and Śmigiel are about 11 km away — whether the app sends you further depends on the delivery zone.

The Rynek, the town hall and ul. Wrocławska

Pickups centre on the Rynek with the town hall (Rynek 1, home to the Regional Museum) and the pedestrian section of ul. Wrocławska, both renewed in a town-centre revitalisation. On the pedestrian street walk your bike or ride very slowly. The town office is at Al. Kościuszki 22.

Water tower and the November half marathon

Koscian has no university, but since its 2012–13 revitalisation the water tower has housed climbing walls (about 345 m², over 18 m high) and an astronomical observatory. Every November the town hosts the Dr Henryk Florkowski International Koscian Half Marathon.

Questions about courier work in Koscian

Do you have to book Glovo slots in Koscian?
No. As of October 2026, Glovo in Koscian has worked without slot booking since 5 October — you log in whenever you are free. For now it is the only delivery app in town, but a settlement partner lets you add more if you also want to ride in Poznan or Leszno.
How much will you really earn as a courier in Koscian?
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. Only Glovo operates in Koscian for now, but the town covers just 9 km², so trips from the Rynek to the estates are short and at peak times you fit more of them into an hour. Check the exact amount in the earnings calculator.
Can you get around Koscian on an ordinary bike?
Yes — the height difference across town is only about 10 m (75–85 m above sea level), and a ride from the Rynek to os. Piastowskie or Jagiellońskie takes a few minutes. A scooter or car helps for orders to nearby villages, and in autumn and winter an e-bike saves energy on open, windy stretches.
What should you watch out for when riding in Koscian?
The pedestrian part of ul. Wrocławska and the Rynek are busy with people on foot, so slow down or walk your bike. Remember that bikes are not allowed on the S5 — the Kościan Północ and Południe junctions are for motor vehicles only. On the November half-marathon day, check traffic notices.
When do couriers in Koscian get the most orders?
The first wave comes around midday, and most orders usually arrive from early evening, when people get home from work. Fridays, weekends and cold, rainy autumn days tend to be busier. There are no students here, so the rhythm is set mainly by families on the housing estates.
How do you register as a courier in Koscian?
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 Koscian, a Glovo account is all you need to start — it has worked without slots since 5 October 2026.
