Discount for rail travelers
-
How do I get the traveller's discount?
This special daily rate applies in combination with a train journey on the same day, for which you check in and out using your OV-chipkaart or e-ticket. This rate doesn't apply when you've travelled with your debit card. This rate applies to train journeys with NS and all other carriers. When leaving the parking site, first scan your OV-chipkaart. The discount will be calculated, and you can then make your payment. If you plan to park for several days, you can also receive a discount as long as you leave the P+R site on the same day as your return train journey.
Please note:
- You can only get a discount by scanning your e-ticket at paid P+Rs with license plate recognition.
- You do not get a discount with international train trips.
-
I have not received the traveller's discount
Fill in the ‘P+R traveller's discount’ refund form.
-
I have not reached the daily rate - am I eligible for the traveller's discount?
No. The traveller's discount is calculated on the basis of the daily rate, not the hourly rate.
-
How many days can I park at a discount?
You will also receive a discount if you park for several days, as long as you leave the P+R site on the same day as your return journey on the train. You can park for a maximum of 3 consecutive days (72 hours) with a discount.
