Refunds for delays

We understand how irritating it is to experience a delay on your train journey in the Netherlands, so we offer a refund for delays of 30 minutes or more.

Refunds for a forgotten OV-chipkaart

Do you usually travel on an NS season ticket but you've forgotten your OV-chipkaart? Or did you travel with your debit card instead of your OV-chipkaart? There's no need to worry. First, ensure that you have a valid ticket for your train journey. You can request a refund for the cost of your journey with NS afterwards.

Requesting an OV-verklaring

If you pay your own expenses for travelling to work, you can apply for a travel deduction from the Tax Authority. For this, you will need an OV-verklaring (public transport statement) or a travel statement.

Money debited by NLOV

Do you see a debit on your bank account that starts with NLOV followed by 14 numbers and letters? Then you have (accidentally) traveled with your debit card.
