How do I use NS P+R parking?

The NS P+R parking lots have a barrier. You open the barrier with your NS Business Card, or the barrier will open automatically if it recognizes your license plate.

1. Go to an NS P+R parking lot.
2. Drive to the barrier. Your license plate will be scanned or scan your NS Business Card at the barrier.
3. Park your car.
4. Are you leaving the parking lot? Then your license plate will be scanned again or scan your NS Business Card yourself to open the barrier.
5. Drive off the parking lot.

Note: After activating the service, it can take up to 1 day before the barrier recognizes your NS Business Card.

On the NS P+R parking website you can find more information about the costs and how it works.
