How to get a Rejsekort Erhverv business travel card

  • A framework agreement with a transport provider must be made via the website www.rejsekort.dk/erhverv.
  •  If you have any questions about making the agreement, see the following guide.
  • AU units make their own agreements individually. This means that one framework agreement is made per CVR number + EAN number.
  • It is possible to order a number of travel cards under the same framework agreement (currently, there is no maximum number of cards per agreement).
    • Note: The travel card delivery time is 3-4 weeks.
  • It is possible to order a large number of cards and to only request delivery of some of these cards. This way, the cards will be produced and some will be ‘stored’, which means that these cards can be delivered within a few days if required.

   

     You only pay for the cards which are delivered to you. This means that you do not pay for the cards ‘in storage’.

How to block a Rejsekort Erhverv business travel card

  • Call +45 70 11 33 33 and provide information about the travel card number.

  • If you do not know the travel card number, please inform the contact person in your unit. The contact person can give you the travel card number or help to block the card by calling the customer service centre.

If you have a personal travel card, you can also use this for business trips. When reporting your travel expenses, all you need to do is enclose documentation for the trip from Rejsekort.dk.

Note: AU credit cards must not be linked to personal travel cards.
