Working as a taxi driver in Krakow with ERES Partner means driving for Uber, Bolt, and FreeNow, or exclusively for Uber in a car from the ERES fleet, with earnings up to 25% higher than those of competitors. Always without any business activity, with start times as short as 24 hours, and weekly pay. Our approach to working as a driver in Krakow boils down to one choice at the start: whether you want to drive a company car or your own.
We call you back within 15 minutes during office hours and select the form of cooperation and vehicle.
We return calls within 15 minutes on average during office hours.
Working with a fleet and billing partner means that the company handles all the paperwork, leaving you solely responsible for driving. ERES Partner signs a contract with you, sets up and maintains app accounts, settles trips, and pays your wages. If you drive your own car, ERES applies for a taxi license. If you drive a fleet vehicle, you receive a vehicle with an ERES fleet license, and we issue driver IDs for each driver at the beginning of the partnership. You don't need to set up a business or maintain accounting records.
You can drive your own car using three apps simultaneously, and use a fleet car exclusively through the Uber app, earning up to 25% more than with competitors. We've written more about the benefits of driving using multiple apps simultaneously on our blog. You choose your driving hours and decide how many jobs you want to complete. Krakow is a year-round market: tourism, Krakow-Balice Airport, universities, events at the Tauron Arena, and matches between Krakow's three Ekstraklasa clubs—Wisła, Cracovia, and Wieczysta—all mean that seasonality is virtually nonexistent, and there's ample access to rides year-round.
A full-time taxi driver in Krakow typically generates a monthly turnover of PLN 8,000 to PLN 12,000 , and the best ERES drivers earn up to PLN 15,000. How much of this amount is net depends primarily on the type of cooperation: with a fleet vehicle, operating costs are not a burden on the driver, but with a private vehicle, they are. We also offer tips on how to earn more as a taxi driver.
This is the factor with the greatest impact on the weekly result.
Weekend nights and peak hours with multipliers are clearly better paid than off-peak hours.
Spring, summer and early autumn are the peak of tourist traffic in Krakow, and you can often expect multipliers then.
You drive a fleet car exclusively for Uber, earning up to 25% more and eliminating operating costs. You drive your own car on three apps, but you cover operating costs yourself.
Knowing where to position yourself at a given time translates directly into earnings.
Below is a breakdown of the weekly turnover of a driver from the ERES fleet, operating a shift system where an average of up to three Uber trips per hour are made. The upper limits and records don't mean much unless you know what's being hit along the way.
What is deducted from turnover
What you don't pay on a fleet car
A key difference from driving your own car: ERES covers fuel (shift), servicing, insurance, and car wash . You don't pay for tires, inspections, or repairs. Full terms, fees, and thresholds can be found in our Krakow driver offer.
In Krakow, the best fares are during rush hours and on weekend nights in the Old Town and Kazimierz area.
Friday and Saturday nights, high order density and multipliers.
Constant traffic during rush hours Monday to Friday.
Long, predictable runs all day long, including early mornings.
Routes to Oświęcim, Zakopane or the airport in Katowice are long assignments outside Krakow itself.
Concerts at Tauron Arena, matches and fairs generate surges in demand all year round, and the tourist peak lasts from spring to autumn, intensified by students, holidays and long weekends.
A driver who knows these times and routes will make more trips in the same number of hours. Nighttime is the busiest time of day; we've written a separate article about what it's like to work as a taxi driver at night.
The time from registration to the first trip usually takes about 24 hours, with the formalities handled by an ERES Partner. ERES Fleet Center operates 24/7, so the first shift doesn't have to fall during office hours.

Questions that driver candidates ask us most often in Krakow.
With a full-time job, turnover typically ranges from 8,000 to 12,000 PLN per month, with top ERES drivers earning up to 15,000 PLN per month. The amount depends on the number of hours, driving time, season, and type of employment.
