Annoying that your OV-chipkaart is broken or lost. Fortunately, this can be easily solved!
If your anonymous OV-chipkaart is broken or lost, you can reclaim your balance and buy a new OV-chipkaart, but it is even easier to check in and out with your debit card, credit card or mobile (OVpay).
Then you also save €7.50 (the cost of a new OV-chip card) and have one less plastic card in your wallet.
Did you have a personal OV-chipkaart without age discount or subscription? Then from now on you might as well use your debit card, credit card or mobile check-in and check-out (OVpay). Then you will also save € 11 (the cost of a replacement personal OV-chipkaart) and have one less plastic pass in your wallet.
Did you have a personal OV-chipkaart with age discount or a season ticket? Then you can apply for a replacement personal OV-chipkaart. This costs €11. Please note: do not apply for a new OV-chipkaart.
If a season ticket was on your OV-chipkaart, you can apply for a temporary season ticket.
