Cancelling a season ticket
You can cancel your season ticket after the first month. Are you temporarily not traveling and do you not want subscription costs? You can also change your season ticket to NS Flex Basis (€ 0 per month).
How do I cancel my season ticket?
We are sorry to hear that you are cancelling, but we are happy to help you.
This is how you cancel your season ticket:
- Start cancelling and log in with your NS account.
- Choose the season ticket you want to cancel.
- Read what happens after your cancellation and confirm your cancellation.
- You have now cancelled your paid season ticket online and keep NS Flex Basis on your OV-chipkaart. You do not pay any subscription costs for this.
- Do you also not want NS Flex Basis? Then go to the NS ticket machine to remove it from your card. Your cancellation is then complete.
My OV-chipkaart has expired, been lost or stolen. How can I cancel?
You can always cancel your season ticket online; even if you no longer have an OV-chipkaart or if it has expired.
After you have canceled online, you will keep NS Flex Basis on your OV-chipkaart. You will not pay any subscription costs for this. Do you also not want NS Flex Basis? Then go to the NS ticket machine to remove it from your OV-chipkaart.
Expired OV-chipkaart
Read what happens when your OV-chipkaart has (almost) expired. You will often automatically receive a new one from us at home. Then you can go to the ticket machine.
Lost, damaged or stolen OV-chipkaart
Has your OV-chipkaart been lost, damaged or stolen? Then block your card immediately and request a new one. You will receive it at home within 5 working days.
