In simple terms, City Drive takes care of ensuring that you receive your earnings when working as a courier. We handle insurance, invoicing, and provide support.
As a courier or driver, you can't directly be employed by most transportation apps if you don't have your own business with the right profile (PKD). Moreover, working with an app can come with some challenges, such as the need to manage each delivery as a separate invoice. City Drive, as a fleet partner and your accounting office, makes this work easier by acting as a middleman between you and the app. We are responsible for your social security contributions, tax payments in accordance with Polish law, your accounting, and most importantly, ensuring that you receive your payment on time.
Additionally, we offer you much more: fuel discounts, a refund of half of the VAT on cost invoices. When you have a problem that needs clarification, our courier/driver support office is ready to assist you.
You will find City Drive offices in 4 different cities in Poland. You can locate us in Warsaw, Wrocław, Kraków, and Gdańsk.
Here are the exact addresses:
We speak 4 languages. We can communicate in Polish, English, Ukrainian, and Russian.
Would you like City Drive to become your fleet partner? We appreciate your interest. To join our team of couriers, you should sign a contract with us - this is a guarantee of legal employment.
Go to our panel, register and fill in the necessary data. Then choose the applications you would like to work with (if you have any doubts, be sure to contact us - we'll advise you). In the e-mail we’ll send you, you will find instructions on how to proceed, which looks slightly different depending on which application you have chosen. Pick up the equipment you need or buy it from us and you can start working now.
City Drive employs couriers throughout Poland. We’re wherever the applications we work with are available. Even if we don't have an office in your city, we are always in contact and are willing to start working together. Give us a call at 730 000 310 or write to biuro@city-drive.pl.
First of all, we offer one of the most attractive commissions on the market - you pay 30 PLN if you work on 1 application or 50 PLN if you work on 2 or more applications. We know what is important to the courier. Our support often works more efficiently than application support. We provide easy contact, access to courier equipment, the best vehicle rental terms and general assistance at every stage of the job.
City Drive is more than a billing partner. We are a recommended fleet partner for many apps, working closely with them. Our approach to courier also sets us apart. We focus on relationships - we want you to feel taken care of at every level. You can write to us with any question, our team of specialists will be happy to answer you.
We also strive to educate couriers to provide applications with a quality fleet - this is what we are known for. We create a friendly courier environment on many social media channels, where couriers - ours and others - share their experiences. We are often the first to offer incoming projects and job opportunities. We reward the best couriers. Want to work with the best? Join us!
It’s simple! Earn a 100 PLN bonus (2x50 PLN) for every friend you refer.
Here’s how it works:
Once your referred friend completes their first and second settlement, you’ll receive your 100 PLN bonus (2x50 PLN).
Referred couriers also receive a 50 PLN bonus (25 PLN with their first settlement and another 25 PLN with their second settlement).
All you have to do is terminate the contract with your previous partner and register in our panel. You can also visit one of our offices, write or call, and we will help you with everything. To terminate the contract with your previous partner, you just need to send an email stating the following information: your details, the data of the company with which you’re ending your partnership, the start date and the termination date of the contract.
Remember to inform the app you work for about the change of partners. Each app has a slightly different process. For example, Glovo, Bolt Food, and Xpress Delivery change partners as quickly as possible, while Wolt will transfer you to us after the current billing period ends. It's best to contact the app and ask when the partner change will be accepted. If you earn anything during the transition, your previous partner should make a final payment, which you can also expect from us if you ever decide to end the cooperation.
No! Being a courier doesn't require you to make significant sacrifices. You can work whenever you want - you set the days and hours of work. In some delivery apps, you may need to schedule yourself in advance, but there is no minimum number of hours you have to reserve.
However, remember that the first payment of each month is subject to
ZUS contributions. So, if you are not a student, you must earn at least 350 PLN for us to be able to settle the contract. If you have another job where you earn the minimum wage or more, this amount is reduced to a minimum of 295 PLN. Did you earn less? Don't worry! Your funds will be carried over to the next billing period and added to your future earnings. If you are a student, these regulations don’t apply to you.
If you have one of the following documents, we can start working with you right away:
If you don't have the appropriate document, don't worry! We can help you with the paperwork for the labor office and obtain a work authorization for 24 months.
If you are a citizen of Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, or Armenia, you need to send the following documents (scanned or clear photos) to the email address biuro@city-drive.pl with the title "Statement":
For Ukrainian citizens, a passport and a document proving your legal stay in Poland are sufficient.
We enter into a contract of mandate with our couriers and drivers, so we recommend that you deregister from the Labor Office once you start working with us. Our contract provides you with health insurance.
With this agreement, more cash stays in your pocket. The tax on the rental is 8.5%, and the premiums charged on the contract of assignment are even a little over 30%. Instead of paying premiums of 30% on your paycheck, all you have to do is pay 8.5% to the relevant tax office.
PS We do not offer a rental agreement to students who are under the age of 26, as they are exempt from all fees on the assignment agreement and we count all their gross earnings as net.
As a student, you should provide us with a certificate confirming your student status (from your current semester of study). You will get the certificate from your university, just ask.
Of course you can!
We run an accounting office that serves many self-employed couriers and drivers all over Poland. Why did they choose us? Thanks to this cooperation they save time and accounting costs, which are extremely low with us. We have an unbeatable offer, because we have specialized in the transportation industry for years.
You have only one invoice to settle, not hundreds as before. Passenger invoices do not show your company's name, only ours.
To start working you need to sign one of the following contracts with us:
- Contract of mandate
- Lease agreement
- B2B cooperation
If you are a foreigner, please contact us. We will help you choose the most favorable form of cooperation.
A contract of mandate is a document that guarantees you Social Security insurance and the legality of your work. We offer it to all our employees, asking in advance for information about their situation (age, other work, student status). On the basis of this contract, we have to pay the relevant contributions. Their amount depends on the information provided and is outlined in the terms and conditions of cooperation.
You will need a written consent from your parent or legal guardian, as well as a current school ID for this semester.
Click here to download the required consent form from City Drive for employing a minor. The applications where you can work from the age of 16 are Stuart, DeliGoo, and Xpress Delivery.
Contact us as soon as possible. We are not likely to make mistakes, but we can certainly explain where the amount came from and what fees were deducted.
If your payment doesn't match what you see in the app, reach out to us. We'll do our best to quickly analyze your earnings and explain the discrepancy.
Our commission is only 30 PLN per app, making us an exceptionally competitive partner in the industry. But that's not all! If you decide to work with two or more apps, your total commission will be only 50 PLN. Combine apps and increase your earning potential while paying less. Choose City Drive, where more means less!
It's difficult to talk about average earnings because couriers can be divided into two groups:
1. Those who work part-time, combining it with other daily responsibilities.
2. Those for whom working in delivery apps is their main source of income and they treat it like a full-time job.
The first group earns an average profit of around 500 PLN per week, while the second group earns approximately 1,500-2,000 PLN per week.
In City Drive, you can work for multiple apps and you won't incur any additional costs. You pay a commission for each app you drive for, and that's it.
When working with us, you can take invoices for fuel, servicing, car parts and any accessories that are useful for your work. We will reimburse you for half of the VAT. After signing a contract of mandate with us, simply ask the cashier to issue an invoice with the following details:
City Drive Polska sp. z o.o. sp.k.
ul. Gen. J. Bema 2
50-265 Wrocław
NIP 8982269379
If the invoice is for fuel, you will also need to provide the vehicle registration number you entered in our Panel at checkout.
Invoice details:
City Drive Polska sp. z o.o. sp.k.
ul. Gen. J. Bema 2
50-265 Wrocław
VAT number: 8982269379
If the invoice is for fuel, you will also need to provide the vehicle registration number you entered in our Panel at checkout.
To submit an invoice, please follow these steps:
1. Scan the invoice in PDF format.
2. Upload the PDF file to the panel: https://www.panel.city-drive.pl
3. Go to the "Add Invoice" tab.
4. Upload the PDF file. If you don't have a scanner, you can use a free scanning app on your phone (e.g., Adobe Scan). Please note that photos in .jpg and .png format will be rejected.
5. Choose whether you want to fill in the invoice details yourself or let us do it for you: - If you have the time, you can upload the scan and fill in the expense details yourself. We will process your invoice for free.
- If you prefer a quicker option, you can upload the scan without filling in the details, and we will complete it for you. There is a fee of 2 PLN for this service.
We process invoices for the previous month until the 15th day of the following month. For example, invoices for December should be submitted by January 15th.
By the 20th of each month, you must make a transfer of 8.5% on the amount of payment for vehicle rental to the tax office, form symbol: PPE. For ease of reference, the amounts are listed in our billing service. You make the transfers like any other transfer through a bank. All payments must be made to an individual bank account number, which you can generate for free here:
https://www.podatki.gov.pl/mikrorachunek-podatkowy/
In the title you can specify the month and year to have a confirmation of the fee for the billing period.
In order to properly file your taxes, we need to know which Tax Office you belong to. If you're not sure, you can check it here using either your postal code or place of residence: https://www.e-pity.pl/znajdz-urzad-skarbowy-online/
The incorrect way of calculating VAT is: 100 PLN * 8% = 8 PLN or 100 * 23% = 23 PLN. What's wrong? The tax amounts are calculated based on the net amount, not the gross amount.
So, if we have our amount as 100 PLN, the calculations would be as follows:
- 8% rate 23% rate
- Net amount 92.60 PLN 81.30 PLN
- How to calculate? 92.60 PLN * 8% 81.30 PLN * 23% VAT amount 7.40 PLN 18.70 PLN
- Gross amount 92.60 PLN + 7.40 PLN = 100 PLN 81.30 PLN + 18.70 PLN = 100 PLN
Formula for the correct way of calculating VAT: VAT = Gross / (100 + X) * X → where X is the VAT tax rate. So, an 8% VAT tax on 100 PLN gross will be: 100 PLN / 108 * 8 = 7.40 PLN, and a 23% VAT tax on 100 PLN gross will be: 100 PLN / 123 * 23 = 18.70 PLN.
PIT-28 is only the settlement of the vehicle rental contract, PIT-11 is the settlement of the assignment contract.
- Student – 0 PLN
- You have another job – 54.10 PLN
- You have another job and are under 26 years old - 26.10 PLN
- You work only with us – 133.10 PLN
- You work only with us and you are under 26 years old - 108.10 PLN

In City Drive, we have 10 courier apps to choose from. If you're not sure which one offers the best conditions for you, check out the "Work as a Courier" tab to see what it's like to work in each of them.
Here are a few criteria you can consider when choosing an app:
- The city where the app operates
- Scheduled driving or flexible hours
- Minimum age requirement (16 or 18 years old)
- Required vehicle
By delivering by bicycle you certainly save on fuel and depreciation of the car, and the app allows a maximum distance of up to 7.5 kilometers. Driving by car you have no such limitations. A bicycle courier can count on short-distance courses with a smaller load. Scooter couriers have better performance in terms of time and can take longer distances, but the issue of load remains similar.
The courier who has a car will receive the largest orders and only to him the apps will assign long courses. In some apps, car couriers earn more because of the cost of fuel, or, conversely, earn less, but have their fuel reimbursement credited.
Apps such as Glovo or Jush are very keen on couriers delivering by bike or scooter, due to the fact that these deliveries are faster.
Depending on the app, the bag is either sent directly by the app you work for or by us from our office. Usually, the delivery of the bag takes 1-2 business days. Some apps provide the bags for free, while others send them and deduct the cost from your first settlement.
Go to the tab city-drive.pl/en/equipment-for-couriers, where you will find detailed information about it. Fill out the bag purchase form and wait for contact from us.
You can rent an electric bicycle from us! Other couriers praise it, so you will surely enjoy riding it too.
Go to the tab https://city-drive.pl/en/equipment-for-couriers and learn more about renting an electric bicycle. Fill out the form you will find on the website, and we will contact you.
Unfortunately - we do not rent cars to couriers, but we have great electric bicycles available. Check out: https://city-drive.pl/en/equipment-for-couriers
Yes! We have Viva Mini terminals available, which some Stuart couriers need. Why only some? If you have an Android phone with NFC, you don't need to buy a terminal. If you have an Android phone without NFC or an iOS device (regardless of whether it has NFC), you will need a terminal.
You can work on multiple apps at the same time. Contact us to activate more apps for you. You don’t need to sign multiple contracts for this. One agreement is enough to hook up to all the apps. You can have all your billing in one place - in City Drive.
A zone is the area within which your app operates and in which you will deliver orders. When you open your app, you will probably see its zone on the map - it will be marked in color. When working, you should always be within the application's zone. When you start working, you are required to log into the app a moment before you start, already being inside the zone. Your phone must have geolocation enabled.
You can work as a driver in as many as 3 apps. These are the best on the market, namely FREENOW, Bolt and Uber. If you want to know the detailed terms of cooperation for each of these apps, then call our Customer Service (tel: 730 000 310).
You can work for 1, 2, or 3 applications, and nothing changes. We sign one contract with you, and that's it. Regardless of how many applications you work for, the commission is only 50 PLN + 1% of the gross amount from each billing period.
Do you want to connect to another app? Come to us or call us (phone: 730 000 310), and we will take care of everything.
To work as a taxi driver, you need to run your own business with the appropriate industry code (PKD). If you don't meet this requirement, you need a fleet partner with whom you will sign a contract. And that's where we come in.
City Drive enables taxi drivers to work because we sign a contract with them, handle social security contributions, and pay taxes - all in accordance with the law. We are responsible for ensuring that your payment reaches you on time - we act as your accounting office and intermediary with the app.
There are also other reasons why it's worth being with us: we offer bonuses for referring friends, and a refund of half of the VAT from expense invoices. We always answer phone calls and messages. Seriously, you can count on us!
To become a driver, you need a car, a valid driving license of category B (or higher), and a fleet partner. There's one more important thing - you must be at least 18 years old (and if you want to work with the Uber app - you must have a minimum of 2 years of driving experience and be at least 20 years old). Visit the website city-drive.pl/en/work-as-a-driver to learn more about the details of working as a driver.
The average earnings of drivers working on taxi apps vary depending on the number of hours worked. For drivers working less than 20 hours per week, the average income is around 600 - 800 PLN. Those working between 20 and 40 hours per week can earn up to 5,000 PLN. Drivers working over 40 hours per week in major cities can earn an average income of 8,247 PLN.
You don’t need to be the owner of the vehicle to establish a rental agreement with us. All you need to do is provide us with a "vehicle lending" document from the owner of the vehicle (template downloadable online for free).
Yes! You can use a rented car, we just need a copy of the rental agreement. And if the rental invoices are issued in our company's name, we can include it as an expense and refund you half of the tax on the fees.
Unfortunately, neither our company nor the apps reimburse parking costs associated with work - except for parking fees at work with Xpress Delivery. Xpress Delivery pickup points are located in shopping malls, so the app guarantees no parking costs, but if such costs do occur - the app's employees will reimburse you for such charges.
In other apps you may be charged for parking in a paid zone. Some couriers use "supply" or "transport" placards - city guards, police or building owners often look favorably on this. However, legally, it does not guarantee exemption from a fine.
We will take care of the license for you, free of charge. The waiting time for the license should not exceed one month, but it depends on the work of the authorities in different cities in Poland.
