Can a one way NS Ticket be used as an OV-Chipkaart for P+R Parking in Amsterdam?

Can a one way NS Ticket be used as an OV-Chipkaart for P+R Parking in Amsterdam? - Tin vessels and metal bucket with milk placed near bike leaned on shabby rusty wall

I will be flying to Amsterdam in a few weeks, renting a car, and then driving to Germany. On my arrival day, I have a few hours before checking into my hotel and am considering dropping the car off at a P+R lot, taking the NS Train into the city centre (hotel is near Sloterdijk) and exploring the city.

On the City of Amsterdam P+R website, parking in a P+R spot is only €1 on weekends, but requires an OV-Chipkaart upon exit to qualify for the discount. Seeing as how I'll only need one ticket to enter the city, and one ticket to get back to my car, it seems unnecessary to get either the personal or the anonymous OV-Chipkaart.

Will my one-way (or return) NS Train ticket count as an OV-Chipkaart at the exit machine for the P+R parking lot?

Thanks.

Can you travel without an OV-chipkaart?

The OV-chipkaart (chip card used to pay for public transport) must be purchased before you travel.

How does OV chipcard work?

Checking in You must always check in and out with an OV-chipkaart. At the start of your journey, hold your card against the screen on a gate or card reader. Your card will be checked to ensure you have a valid travel product or sufficient credit. Then the gate will open, or the card reader will beep to confirm.

How do I get an OV chipcard?

An anonymous OV-chipkaart is valid for four to five years....You can purchase an anonymous OV-chipkaart at:
  • sales devices (only applicalble to the national rail (NS) devices) at a station;
  • operators' counters;
  • newsagents and supermarkets;
  • at OVshop, the Chipbizz webshop.


  • Can you park OV?

    You will be issued a P+R parking ticket. Buy a P+R public transport ticket (OV) from the GVB vending machine in the car park. If you have a personal OV chip card, you can use that card as well. The tickets issued are only valid on the GVB network, not on the Connexxion buses!
