Glovo Nowy Targ — Courier Job 2026 in Podhale

Nowy Targ for couriers: road 47, the Thursday market, freezing winters

Glovo without slots in Podhale's largest town

Nowy Targ is the largest town in Podhale, home to 32,956 people according to GUS (31.12.2025). You deliver food with Glovo, which has not required slot booking here since 14 September 2026. If another app arrives in town, you can add it through the same settlement partner.

Between the Gorce hills and two Dunajec rivers

The Czarny and Biały Dunajec meet in Nowy Targ. The lowest point is 585 m above sea level, and the boundaries climb into the Gorce up to 1,138 m. The centre is easy to cover by bike, and the Velo Dunajec route — about 230 km from Zakopane to where the Dunajec joins the Vistula — runs through town.

The new road 47 and two interchanges

Since 30 August 2024 the dual carriageway of road 47 from Rdzawka (16.1 km) reaches town via two interchanges 1.5 km apart: Nowy Targ Zachód (ul. Ludźmierska, DW957) and Nowy Targ Południe (ul. Krakowska). In 2014 the council voted for a two-part paid parking zone, with the pricier part planned by the Rynek.

From the Bloki to Czerwone by the airfield

The town covers 51.07 km² and has no formal districts, but locals name several parts: Stare Miasto and Śródmieście, Równia Szaflarska (Bloki), Ibisor, Bór, Niwa and Dział, Kowaniec and Kokoszków, Podmieścisko and Czerwone by the airfield. MZK buses serve the outer parts.

The Rynek, the station and al. Tysiąclecia

Most venues cluster around the Rynek (138 × 110 m), where eight streets meet at the corners, including Szaflarska, Sobieskiego, Kościuszki and Kolejowa. The Dekada centre (open since 2014) is part of the railway station, and the market is held about 1 km south-east of the centre on al. Tysiąclecia.

Thursday market and hockey town

The market dates back to a 1487 charter from King Casimir IV; today it runs on Thursdays (livestock included) and Saturdays until about 14:00. Podhale, 19-time Polish ice hockey champions, play at the Miejska Hala Lodowa, ul. Parkowa 14 (3,500 seats). The town also has Poland's highest airport.

Questions about delivery work in Nowy Targ

Which delivery companies operate in Nowy Targ?

In Nowy Targ you deliver food with Glovo — for now it is the only delivery app in town (as of October 2026). Since 14 September 2026 Glovo has worked here without slots, so you log in whenever you want to ride. Any further apps, once they arrive, can be added through the same settlement partner.

How much can you really earn as a courier in Nowy Targ?

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. Runs around the Rynek are short, but an order to Kowaniec, Bór or Czerwone by the airfield stretches the route, and in winter snow slows you down — so count travel time, not just the number of orders. See what you would keep in the earnings calculator.

Bike or car — what works in a Podhale winter?

From spring to autumn a bike is comfortable around the centre, and the Velo Dunajec route runs through town. Winter here, though, usually lasts from late November to early April, with snow on the ground 90–110 days a year — that is when a car on winter tyres is the safer choice.

Where do runs get tough in Nowy Targ?

Mostly in winter: Nowy Targ is one of the coldest towns in Poland, with a record low of −37.4 °C. On Thursday and Saturday mornings traffic builds up around the market on al. Tysiąclecia. Parking near the Rynek has been tighter since the 2011–2012 rebuild, and trips to Czerwone or Kowaniec take longer.

How are orders spread across the day in Nowy Targ?

Mornings tend to be quieter; orders pick up around lunchtime, and a second peak comes in the evening as people get home. It pays to keep the app on when Podhale play at the hall on ul. Parkowa, and on frosty, snowy evenings when hardly anyone wants to go out.

Where do you start with deliveries in Nowy Targ?

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. Once your account is active, you ride for Glovo in Nowy Targ without slots — at first it makes sense to stay around the Rynek, where runs are shortest.
