Summer Vacation Deal: travel all day for a maximum of €5

This summer vacation, travel extra affordably with U-OV. From July 18 to August 30, 2026, you pay a maximum of €5 per day for all your rides on U-OV buses and trams in the province of Utrecht.

You don't need a subscription or separate ticket. Check in and out with your debit card, credit card, mobile, or new OV-pass (OVpay) and automatically benefit from the promotional fare. If you travel less, you pay less. If you travel more times in one day, you never pay more than €5 per day. No registration needed. Just check in and go.

Note: this promotion only applies when you travel with OVpay. If you travel with an OV-chipkaart, this promotion does not apply.

How it works
You never pay more than €5 per day during the promotion if you:

check in and out with the same debit card, credit card, mobile, or new OV-pass;
always check in AND out;
do not miss a check-in or check-out;
travel with U-OV buses and trams.

If you miss a check-in or check-out, you can adjust it afterward via OVpay. Want to request a new OV-pass? Visit the OVpay website or buy it at Primera.

Now extra affordable
With U-OV Max (day) you normally pay a maximum of €10 per day. During summer vacation, we reduce this to €5 per day. You automatically get a 50% discount on the daily maximum.

Discover the province of Utrecht
Visit Utrecht or Amersfoort, go shopping for a day, explore a museum, or enjoy nature. You can easily travel by bus or tram to the best spots in the province. No parking fees and no hassle with separate tickets. For example, by bus or tram to World Heritage at Utrecht Science Park.

Did you know?
Traveling with children? Your trip may be even more affordable. Three children up to 11 years travel free with you. See the conditions >>
