TripKey is a shared, ready-to-use, contactless, pay-as-you-go public transport pass that is conveniently linked to your credit card. You can use it to travel by train, bus, tram, metro, and ferry and reach every destination in the Netherlands. TripKey also gives you access to the OV-fiets – public transport bicycle.

Ready to use means that you can start travelling immediately after you have picked up your pass. You never need to upload money onto the pass.

When you make your reservation we ask you to indicate the drop-off date. If you plan on returning to the Netherlands on a regular base, we understand that it might be easier for you to keep your TripKey Pass and drop it off only on your last visit day. However, please keep in mind that as long as you do not return your pass we will keep the security deposit. Also, the costs per pass are for using the card over a 365-day maximum period. If you fail to return your pass on the due date, we will block it and keep the security deposit.

When you arrive at the train station, hold your TripKey in front of the card reader that you’ll find either at the entrance of the platform or built into the gate that will open after you’ll have scanned your pass. Always check out at the station where you exit.

When you arrive at a metro station, hold your TripKey in front of the card reader that you’ll find either at the entrance of the platform or built into the gate that will open after you’ll have scanned your pass. Always check out at the station where you exit.

Every time you enter a vehicle you must check in and every time you leave a vehicle check out. When your trip includes a change of vehicle (connection) you have to check out the first vehicle and check into the next one. To check in, you hold your pass in front of the card reader. Readers are placed at the entrances and exits of all trams and busses. When you check in, you will hear one beep. When you check out, you will hear two beeps.

• Each time you transfer to a different mode of transport (for example from a tram to a bus or a train to the metro), you must always check out the first vehicle and then check in the next one.
• You must also check out and check in again if you are transferring from a bus to another bus or from a tram to another tram.
• Exception: if you are transferring from one NS train to another NS train or from one metro to another metro, you only need to check out at the end of your journey.

We understand your frustration. The fine you receive for not checking in is for your own expense. This is because when you do not check in you do not pay for your transportation and are dodging (even if not intentionally). For the rest of your travel we kindly remind you that it is very important to check in and check out every time when you enter and leave a train, tram, subway, or bus.

Some train stations do not have closed gates and it is easy to pass through and forget to check in. If you realise that you have forgotten to check in after walking past the gates, try to go back and do so before you enter the train. Otherwise the conductor may issue a fine because you do not have a valid ticket. Make sure that you check in at an NS pole, or at the check in side of the gate. Are you already on the train? Then report to the conductor.

If it is still possible, go back to the location where you forgot to check out and hold your pass in front of the reader with the OV-Chipkaart logo. If this is not possible anymore, the public transport provider charges a fixed fee for the trip. The fine you receive for not checking out is for your own expense. If you have forgotten to check out after your train journey, then you can still check out for up to six hours afterwards at any NS pole or gate. Make sure you do this on the check-out side of the gate. For the rest of your trip please remember that it is very important to check in and check out every time you enter and leave a train, tram, subway, bus.

We apologise for this inconvenience and want to resolve this for you as soon as possible.
