Check-in and check-out zone in the bicycle storage

The check-in and check-out zone makes parking your bicycle in the bicycle storage quicker and easier.

How it works

  • Walk your bike to the check-in and check-out zone and hold your OV-chipkaart or OV-pas up to the display. The light will turn green, and you can walk straight through.
  • If the light is red when you check out, you have parked for more than twenty-four hours. You can pay contactless at the same post.
  • If you have an NS Flex season ticket, the cost is automatically deducted from your account.

Park your bike even faster with a bike tag

The bike tag checks you in and out automatically. Simply stick it on your bike’s frame and link it to your OV-chipkaart. This way, you do not need to search for your card and can walk straight through.

You can get the bike tag free of charge if you have an annual Bike Storage season ticket, an NS-Business Card, or use Stallen op Rekening via NS Flex.

If you do not have this, you can buy a bike tag for € 2.50 from a staff member at the bike storage in the following stations:

  • Almere (Landdrostdreef)
  • Amsterdam Centraal (Stationsplein Oost, Stationsplein, IJzijde west, IJboulevard)
  • Amsterdam RAI
  • Amsterdam Zuid (Zuidplein, Mahler, Strawinsky)
  • Amsterdam Amstel
  • Apeldoorn
  • Arnhem Centrumzijde
  • Assen
  • Breda (Centrum, Belcrum)
  • Ede-Wageningen
  • Harderwijk
  • Tilburg (Zuid, Noord)
  • Utrecht Centraal (Sijpesteijn, Knoop)

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get a bike tag?

You get the bike tag free of charge with an annual Bike Storage season ticket, NS-Business Card or Stallen op Rekening via NS Flex.

If you do not have this, you can buy a bike tag for € 2.50. A staff member will stick it onto your bike’s frame, so check-in and check-out happen automatically at the gates.

Can everyone get a bike tag?

Yes. It is free with an annual season ticket or Stallen op Rekening. Otherwise, you can buy the tag for € 2.50.

I do not have an OV-chipkaart. Can I still park my bike?

Yes, you can check in and check-out with your debit card. A bike tag can only be linked to an OV-chipkaart.

How is my privacy protected?

The bike tag only records how long your bike stays in the storage. It works the same way as your OV-chipkaart.

How do I link my bike tag to a new card?

Do you already have a bike tag but have a new card? You will need to link the bike tag to the new card again. The service staff at that bicycle storage can do this for you.

Where can I go with questions or problems?

The service staff in the bike storage are happy to assist you. Alternatively, contact NS Customer Service.
