Do not queue for the machine: a single-use chipcard costs EUR 1.60 more than tapping the bank card in your pocket or buying an e-ticket, for the same EUR 5.50 ride.

Since 1 July 2026 a new anonymous OV-chipkaart cannot be bought; check in with a contactless card or phone, or buy an e-ticket.

Check in AND out. A forgotten check-out is EUR 33.30 on a bank card, a forgotten check-in EUR 20.

Vivid, Paysafe and Revolut digital debit cards are refused at the check-in columns; Maestro, V PAY, Mastercard and Visa work.

Any train towards Den Haag or Rotterdam stops here; the Intercity direct to Rotterdam does not, and needs a supplement anyway.

A single-use chipcard from the machine adds EUR 1.60; tap a bank card or buy an e-ticket instead.
