Travel easily and affordable with U-OV Max (day)

With U-OV Max you can travel easily and cheaply every day on all U-OV buses and trams in the province of Utrecht. You don’t need to buy a separate ticket or season pass – just check in and out with your debit card, credit card, mobile phone or the new OV-pas (OVpay).

Price

You’ll never pay more than € 10,00 per day.
Are you between 12 and 18 years old? Then you’ll never pay more than € 6,50 per day. Just make sure you link your payment card first – you can read how to do that below.

If you travel less, you also pay less. No registration needed: just check in and go!

How U-OV Max (day) works

You’ll pay no more than € 10,00 (or € 6,50) per day if you:

Always check in and out with the same payment card or new OV-pas
Make complete journeys (so always both check in and check out)
Don’t miss any check-in or check-out. If you do miss one, you can correct it yourself
Travel with U-OV– trips with other operators do not count towards your daily cap

Signing up for U-OV Max (day) for ages 12–18

Would you like to add U-OV Max to your debit card? All the steps are clearly explained in our step‑by‑step guide in English or Arabic. After that, you can travel every day for a maximum of €6.50 per day and €65 per month.

Good to know

U-OV Max is only valid on daytime lines. Night buses are not included. For a journey on the night bus you pay a fixed fare of € 5,00.

Even more benefits

Create a free MyU-OV account and link your payment card. Then you’ll never pay more than:

€ 100,00 per month (adults)
€ 65,00 per month (ages12–18)

If you travel less, you also pay less. Once you’ve reached the monthly cap, you travel free for the rest of that month.

Travel without worries – you’ll never pay more than necessary.
