What is the Dutch bike Plan (NFP) and how does it work?Updated a day ago
The Bike Plan (Nationale Fiets Projecten (NFP)) is a Dutch government programme that encourages people to cycle to work.
The National Bike Plan (Nationale Fiets Projecten or NFP) is a Dutch government program that encourages people to commute by bicycle to work. Employees can gain a tax advantage when they purchase a new bicycle through their employer. This can quickly result in savings, especially with electric bicycles. Besides saving money, employers offer this scheme to enhance employee vitality, bolster sustainability efforts, and solve parking issues. You can use the bicycle scheme in collaboration with your employer if you live in the Netherlands.
Veloretti collaborates with the National Bike Plan for this purpose. It is advised to first contact your HR department to discuss the possibilities.
The following conditions apply when ordering a bicycle through the National Bike Plan:
- Any discounts and promotions are excluded from participation.
- Bicycle vouchers can currently only be used for purchasing bicycle insurance with NFP and not with Veloretti.
- It is not possible to have bicycles delivered to Veloretti partners.
- It is not possible to purchase the premium package. However, you are free to insure your bicycle elsewhere.
- A processing fee of €150 per order applies. These costs cannot be included in the bicycle plan and will be charged directly to you.
If your employer is affiliated to The Bike Plan (Nationale Fiets Projecten (NFP), follow the steps below:
- Submit your order to National Bicycle Projects.
- Ensure that the total price of your order in the portal comes to €3,404.20. This amount is made up of:
- Price of e-bike: €3,299
- Delivery costs: €49.95
- Price of the lock: €55.25
- If you want an additional ART2-certified lock worth €104.95 (Axa Defender Lock + Axa Linq), ensure the total amount is €3,453.90.
Important: If the total amount in the portal is incorrect, you need to contact NFP yourself to have it adjusted. Without the correct total amount, we cannot process the application further.
Please note that we charge a processing fee of €150 per order. We will send you a payment request for this.
Now comes the fun part! Once all data and payments are in order, we will process your order and send you a confirmation. Once your order leaves our warehouse, we will send you a tracking link to follow your order. Orders are only processed if the total amount is exactly €3,404.20 or €3,453.90.
