Telephone and video interpreting: rates and costs
Have an interpreter join your conversation by phone or video. Use a video app of your choice, or T2G Video in the Tolk2Go app. Suitable for, for example, a short business meeting, an appointment confirmation or a conversation where audio is enough.
- No travel: the interpreter works remotely, so there is no travel time and no travel costs.
- Extra time: if the conversation takes longer than booked, only the extra minutes are charged.
- Extra preparation: only after you approve it in the app.
CBR interpreter: costs and booking
A sworn interpreter translates during your exam. The interpreter does not help with the answers. First book your exam with the CBR and tell them an interpreter will come along. Then arrange the interpreter through Tolk2Go and keep your candidate number at hand.
Practical exams have different prices. Enter your exam details on the website: you see the price before you confirm and book.

Cancel or reschedule
You cancel yourself through the website or the app. A phone call or email does not count as a cancellation. CBR exams have their own rules.
Telephone, video, notary and legal
You can cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before the start of the appointment, and always within two hours after you confirmed the booking. If you cancel later, the full booking amount is charged, including any travel time and travel costs. A different date, time or location counts as a cancellation and a new request.
CBR exam
CBR exams have their own deadlines per type of exam. Check the deadline for your exam in your booking. If you reschedule your exam with the CBR, also change your interpreter booking: it does not change automatically.
Frequently asked questions about interpreter rates
Why doesn't every interpreter charge the same price?
Each interpreter sets their own rate. The price can therefore differ per interpreter, language combination, specialisation, appointment and travel. Compare the total amounts for the same appointment details.
Are the prices including or excluding VAT?
The rates for telephone and video interpreting, an interpreter at the notary and legal interpreting exclude VAT. The prices for CBR theory exams include VAT.
When do I pay travel time and travel costs?
Only for an appointment on location. Travel time and travel costs are then added to the rate for the interpreting and are included in the total booking price you see before you confirm. For telephone and video interpreting you pay no travel time or travel costs.
Can the price go up after booking?
Only for an overrun or extra preparation. For an overrun, only the extra minutes are charged. The interpreter requests extra preparation through the app, and those costs are only added if you accept the request.
Is a request already a booking?
No. A request is not yet a confirmed booking. Your interpreter is only arranged once the booking shows as confirmed in your account.
