1. Overview

The student travel product is part of student finance. It enables you to travel by Dutch public transport for free or at a reduced rate. You can choose a weekday product or a weekend product.

Gift or loan

Your student travel product is a loan (in 2018 € 91.62, in 2019 € 95.51 per month). Only if you graduate within 10 years, the travel product will be converted into a gift. For this reason you can also choose not to collect it from a pick-up device.

Weekday or weekend

You are automatically allocated a weekday subscription. If you prefer a weekend subscription, you can switch for free.

Validity per product

When exactly can you travel for free, and when at a reduced rate? And what happens on public holidays? In the overview with travel days you find the validity of both products.

First use

You can start using your travel product from the date you are entitled to student finance.

Cancelling

If you are no longer entitled to a student travel product, you must cancel it yourself at a pick-up device. This will not happen automatically. If you cancel your student travel product too late, you will be charged € 194 per month.
