Driving in a resort town is governed by different rules than in a big city, because it's tourists who drive traffic, not commuters: peak times occur during winter break, summer vacations, long weekends, and holidays. Around Krupówki Street and the train station, journeys are short and frequent, with further journeys to guesthouses, ski lifts, and transfers out of town.
Driver earnings in Zakopane depend primarily on the season, and during peak hours they are among the highest in Poland, reaching as much as 70 PLN/hour . Winter and summer are the two peaks of demand, when the highest number of journeys occurs, while spring and autumn are quieter periods with a predominance of local traffic. We write more about how the season affects demand in Zakopane on our blog.
Winter break, New Year's Eve, long weekends, and the World Cup at Wielka Krokiew. Snow and frost further increase the number of rides, as tourists forgo walking and head to the lifts.
See the price list for 4x4 carsVacations, hiking trails, trips to thermal baths and nearby attractions. Traffic is spread throughout the day, from morning commutes to Morskie Oko to evening returns from Krupówki Street.
Apply for the seasonThere are fewer journeys, but there are also fewer drivers on the road. That leaves local traffic, transfers, and trips to thermal spas. During the off-season, we run promotions that reduce the weekly car rental fee.
Check ratesWe charge a single rate for fleet vehicles year-round , without separating them into high and low seasons. We don't provide a single average rate, as it's influenced by the season, hours driven, and local market knowledge.
Winter break, summer vacation, New Year's Eve, long weekends and holidays are peak demand times, further boosted by the Ski Jumping World Cup at Wielka Krokiew and other major events in the city.
Snowfall, frost and rain increase demand as tourists use ski lifts and mountain hikes.
Saturdays and Sundays are a rotation of stays at guesthouses, and evenings are spent returning from Krupówki Street. There are also well-paid trips to thermal spas in nearby municipalities, such as Chochołowskie Termy and Terma Bania.
We work on a contract basis, so you set your own driving hours.
The highest-paying jobs in Zakopane are transfers. The Zakopane-Krakow route is about 100 km one-way, and the drive to Krakow-Balice Airport is even longer, so a single transfer can cost as much as several trips around the city. Longer trips are also possible, even to Warsaw.
ERES Partner is the only partner in the region with 4x4 off-road vehicles in its fleet. This includes 70 Suzuki Vitara 4x4s and Toyota Yaris Cross 4x4s in hybrid versions with LPG systems. In Zakopane, it's not a matter of comfort, but rather whether you'll arrive at the guesthouse on Gubałówka in January or cancel your trip.

We have collected the questions that drivers from Podhale ask us most often before the start.
It depends primarily on the season and the number of hours driven, and rates in Zakopane are among the highest in Poland, reaching up to 70 PLN/hour during the season. A driver's record weekly earnings reached 11,000 PLN, and during the winter holidays, earnings can reach up to 20,000 PLN per month. Transfers to Krakow and Krakow-Balice Airport are the most profitable, as are trips to thermal baths and popular tourist attractions like Morskie Oko.
Yes, although there are fewer trips than during peak season. Off-season, locals still use the bus, with transfers and trips to thermal spas in nearby municipalities or mountain trails. There are fewer drivers on the road, so the trips are still profitable.
