Simply enter your name, date of birth and customer number (starting with 55...) and your network card will be stored in "tickets" and can be shown on your smartphone at any ticket inspection.

• Monthly or one-off direct debit

If you do not cancel your ticket in writing one month before the expiry date, a new contractual relationship will come into effect for a further twelve months. You will be informed of this at least 6 weeks before the old contract expires.

The new ticket with the new validity period will be sent to you by post in good time in the last week before expiry. 

• Prepayment

You will receive a reminder letter with a payment instruction at least 6 weeks before your ticket expires. Once you have paid the total amount by the 15th of the last month of validity (by money order or by paying at the points of sale), you will receive your new ticket by post.

Customer data (e.g. change of address) can be changed at any time. Changes to the area of validity, bank details or payment method can be made with effect from the first of each month. When changing the area of validity or payment method, in addition to submitting a new order form, it is also necessary to hand in the current annual travelcard, as this change automatically results in a new contractual relationship for a further 12 months. You will receive a transition card for the transition period. The new VOR annual travelcard will be sent to you by post in good time.

Changes to personal data (name, address) must be communicated immediately to VOR in writing:

• by post to Verkehrsverbund Ost-Region (VOR) GmbH, Europaplatz 3/3, 1150 Wien
• by email to jahreskarte[@]vor.at
• in person at im VOR ServiceCenter (.pdf, 3 MB) at BahnhofCity Wien West

VOR annual passes can only be canceled in writing without giving reasons at the end of each month, subject to the notice periods, after the minimum contract term of seven months from the start of validity.

In the event of regular cancellation after seven months, a fare replacement fee of one twelfth of the respective annual pass price is payable in accordance with the fare regulations.

The cancellation only becomes effective upon proven return (by the 4th calendar day of the following month at the latest) of all cards assigned to the relevant annual ticket contract at the time of cancellation.

If your ticket is lost or stolen, you must submit a corresponding loss report from the municipality or the magistrate or a theft report from the police. A processing fee will be charged for issuing a duplicate ticket in accordance with the applicable fare regulations.

If your new ticket does not arrive by post by the start date of the contract, this must be reported to VOR within 28 days. In the event of a later notification, a loss report is required in accordance with the fare regulations and the processing fee will be charged in the course of issuing a replacement ticket in accordance with the fare regulations.

If an order is placed less than 28 days before the start of validity or if an order is placed retroactively, the complaint period begins to run from the time of the order.

The employer can cover the cost of a weekly, monthly or annual ticket for mass transportation for its employees tax-free, provided that this ticket is valid at least at the place of residence or work.
