Unlimited travel for children travelling with you

With Kids Vrij, children aged 4 to 11 can travel with you for free - even during rush hour. 

How it works

  • Each child uses their own OV-chipkaart
  • Children travel under the supervision of someone 12 years or older
  • Kids Vrij can also be used in the bus, tram and metro anywhere in the Netherlands. Children aged 4 to 11 then automatically receive a 34% discount.

Own OV-chipkaart

You can order Kids Vrij for free if your child has their own OV-chipkaart. You can also purchase an OV-chipkaart for € 7,50 when ordering Kids Vrij.

Upon ordering, we will check your payment details using a € 0.01 iDeal payment.
