What do I need to do to travel at a discount?

You can travel with age discount if you use a personal OV-chipkaart or if you check in and out with your debit card (OVpay).

Your date of birth is on your personal OV-chipkaart. The card then automatically calculates your age discount when you check in and out. Apart from checking in and out, you do not have to do anything else.

If you travel with your debit card, you will have to activate it first. Read more about OVpay's age discount.
