How does it work?

Business parking at the P+R car park is very easy: just check in and out with your NS-Business Card. The parking costs will be billed at the end of the month via your NS-Business Card invoice.

Note: business parking is only possible if the door-to-door service 'P+R' is active on your NS-Business Card. Not sure? Check it in your My NS Business account or ask your employer.

Entering the car park

1. Drive up to the gate.
2. Present your NS-Business Card.
3. The gate will open and you can park your car.

Pay

Simply pay with your NS-Business Card when you leave the car park. Would you like to use the discount? Then do the following:

1. First hold your NS-Business Card in front of 'Reizigerskorting' on the pay machine.
2. Then hold your card in front of 'Betalen NS-Business Card' on the pay machine.

Leaving the car park

1. Drive up to the gate.
2. Present your NS-Business Card with ‘P+R’ door-to-door service active to the card reader.
3. The train journey discount will be calculated automatically and the amount owed will be billed via the invoice*.
4. The gate will open and you can leave the car park.

* The rate is automatically billed via your NS-Business Card invoice. If your employer has issued you an NS-Business Card and allowed you to use the P+R car park for business travel, then the costs will be billed to your employer’s invoice automatically. 

Train journey discount for parking

If you travel by train using your NS-Business Card the same day, then you can enjoy a discount or even free parking at the P+R car park.

Please note: it is currently only possible to receive a discount on parking if you travel with an OV-chipkaart. The parking machines cannot yet scan e-tickets. Later this year, the parking machines will be upgraded to scan e-tickets as well as the OV-chipkaart. From that point on, you will also be able to use an e-ticket to calculate the traveller discount.

Questions and answers on P + R

Can I also get a discount if I have an NS-Business Card without the P+R product?

If your employer has not given permission to use your NS-Business Card to park at P+R facilities, you can still benefit from the special daily rate for private train journeys

How do I get the traveller discount?

This special daily rate applies in combination with a train journey on the same day, if you check in and out with your NS-Business Card. The rate applies to travel with any rail carrier, not just NS. When you leave, first scan your NS-Business Card. The discount will be calculated automatically when you pay for parking. If you would like to park for more than one day, then you can still receive the discount if you leave the P+R car park on the same day as your return journey by train.

Which types of OV-chipkaart are eligible for the discount traveller’s daily rate?

You can receive the special daily rate if you have the following OV-chipkaart: personal OV-chipkaart or NS-Business Card, anonymous OV-chipkaart or single-use chipkaart (ticket from the ticket machine).

I haven’t parked for long enough to get the daily rate. Am I still eligible for a traveller discount?

No. The traveller’s rate is calculated based on the daily rate, not the hourly rate.

I didn’t receive the traveller discount. What should I do now?

Fill in the refund form 'P+R traveller discount’.

How long can I park with a discount?

You can receive a discount when you park for more than one day, as long as you leave the P+R car park on the same day as your return journey by train. You can receive a discount for a maximum of 28 consecutive parking days.

Can I receive a discount if I travel using an e-ticket?

Yes, the discount applies if you travel with an NS-Business Card, OV-chipkaart or e-ticket. You do need to check out.
