Costs and Payment

Why do interpreter rates vary?

Interpreters set their own hourly rates based on experience and specialization.

How are travel costs calculated?

Based on distance and travel time, included in the interpreter’s travel fee.

What is included in the all-in rate?

Interpreting, travel, and service fees. VAT and extra work are not included.

How is preparation time charged?

If an interpreter needs to prepare, this is billed separately. Agree on this beforehand.

What happens if the service takes longer than booked?

Extra time is charged, but the interpreter is not obligated to stay longer.

What if the service is shorter than booked?

You still pay the full quoted amount.

What are the cancellation fees?

Free cancellation up to 48 hours before the appointment. After that, the full amount is charged.

Technical Aspects

What if I use my own video calling software?

You are responsible for the technical setup. Test it beforehand to avoid issues.

Can an interpreter cancel an assignment?

Yes, but Tolk2Go will do its best to find a replacement.

Billing and Payments

How can I pay?

Via iDEAL, Bancontact, Sofort, PayPal, or bank transfer within 1 or 2 days.

Do I pay before or after the service?

Depends on the booking. Sometimes a deposit is required.

Can I pay by invoice?

Companies can pay within 7 days of the invoice date.

Other Questions

What if my conversation partner or I don’t show up?

Can I pause or delete my account?

Does Tolk2Go provide equipment?

No, except in rare cases where an interpreter provides a whisper set.

When will I get my deposit refunded?

Within two working days after the assignment, adjusted for any extra work.
