Commuting allowance
You are entitled to an allowance for your commuting expenses. The amount of your commuting allowance depends on your means of transport and the number of kilometres.

The costs of travelling by public transport will be reimbursed in full. If you use your own means of transport, you are eligible for reimbursement if the commuting distance is more than 10 kilometres (and not more than 45 kilometres). You will therefore be reimbursed 35 kilometres per single journey.
Register your travel in Shuttel
In its role as employer, Leiden University is required to keep track of CO2 emissions associated with travel. To do this, we use the Shuttel app, in which you can register not only your commuting trips, but also your home-working days, and your business trips in the Netherlands. You can also easily track your travel, and get instant insight into your commuting allowance. For step-by-step instructions for the app, please use the Quick Guide to Shuttel.
If you prefer to use your desktop or laptop rather than an app on your phone, you can also register your trip in My Shuttel.
