Before you travel
Bring the accepted document
At 65 or over, bring accepted ID proving your age. Otherwise bring an accepted Finnish pension document; partial pensions do not automatically qualify.
Select the passenger category
Choose the correct category in VR’s booking form. Check the final price and ticket conditions before paying.
Using an HSL ticket?
HSL has its own eligibility rules. A VR discount does not automatically apply.
