New Corporate Cooperation Agreements

The Cooperation Agreement will contain details of benefits to the company, the purchasing and service channels employed, payment solutions and a model for cooperation.
The Agreement and its numerical identifier will replace the present VR Travel Account card and identifier. You will be able to book and pay for train journeys specially priced in accordance with the agreement from the internet-based VR purchasing application, rail ticket vending machines, national corporate telephone sales or your travel agent. No benefits are available if products are bought on board the train or from an R-kiosk.

The Cooperation Agreement offers discounts on all VR long-distance and Finland-Russia services. Discounts can also be had on multitickets and season tickets and the new inexpensive rail tickets purchased in advance. Discounts do not apply to group tickets, special offers, CarTrain seats, or local or commuter rail tickets in the HSL area (covering Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen, Vantaa, Kerava and Kirkkonummi).

Please ensure that all your company employees are aware of the new system and agreement identifier.

Corporate internet-based purchasing application

VR recommends companies to reserve train journeys using the free, internet-based sales application.
Corporate customers will be able to use the application to purchase all long-distance rail tickets within Finland, make multi-ticket seat reservations, and book all rail tickets on the Finland-Russia service. Corporate group travel arrangements will continue to be dealt with by VR’s specialist team.
When you use the application, you will receive an invoice for purchases made, or you can pay by chip and pin credit card. The company itself specifies who can book trips, and the company also attends to the matter of user IDs.

There has to be a Cooperation Agreement in place between a company and VR before the purchasing application can be used.

If you are interested in the new VR Cooperation Agreement, complete and send off the form or contact your VR liaison officer.

The Cooperation Agreement and its benefits take effect no sooner than two weeks after VR has received all the necessary relevant details from the customer.
