New check-in and check-out zone
Park your bike in our bicycle storage facilities even quicker with the new check-in and check-out zone.
How it works
- Walk your bike to the new check-in and check-out zone.
- Tap your OV-chipkaart on the display.
- You'll be greenlighted and be let through.
Do you see a red light when you check out?
This means you had your bike in storage for more than 24 hours. You can pay at the same kiosk.
If you have an NS Flex subscription or a Stallen op Rekening season ticket, your account will be charged automatically and you'll be greenlit right away
Park even faster with a bike tag
A bike tag will let you check in and out automatically. A bike tag is a chip that is mounted to your bike and linked to your OV-chipkaart. With a bike tag, you won't need an OV-chipkaart to enter or exit our bicycle storage facilities.
