Away from the crowds

The Netherlands is densely built-up, which is why many people find it very busy. Sometimes you just need to get away from the hustle and bustle and the crowds. Many people like to seek out quieter regions or even escape into nature. OVpay makes it very easy to check in and out with your bank card, credit card, or mobile device on buses, metro, trams, and water buses. Follow this route to unwind and relax.

Good morning

A breath of fresh air in Ouddorp

Ouddorp, a village located at the tip of the South Holland island of Goeree-Overflakkee, offers an ideal starting point for a walk along the beach or through the vast dune area. The impressive 56-meter-high red lighthouse can be seen from afar, adding to the romance of the expansive and often nearly deserted landscapes that characterize this region. For lovers of picturesque village scenes, the nearby village of Goedereede, east of Ouddorp, is definitely worth a visit.

Good afternoon

An expedition to Tiengemeten

The small island of Tiengemeten is located in the Haringvliet, a former estuary that was dammed off several decades ago. In the 1990s, it was decided to transform the island, which was mainly used for agriculture, into a “wet nature area” and recreational area. Tiengemeten offers an oasis of tranquility and harbors a unique natural landscape where water and land dynamically interplay. So, hop on the hourly ferry and discover it for yourself!

How it works

Checking in and out with your debit card works the same way as with your
OV-chipkaart. Below we explain it step by step.

Step by step

  1. Hold your debit card, credit card or mobile against the card reader or gate and you are checked in.
  2. Are you getting off? It's the same way. And with the same card you checked in with.
  3. Your payment is automatic. The next day you see the amount in your payment summary with the description NLOV. And the price? That is the same as traveling with your OV-chipkaart.
  4. Want to see the travel costs of a particular day? Then download the app or enter the 14 numbers and letters behind NLOV and the amount debited on this page.
