Hello all! I'm a newbie here, so please forgive ignorance on my part. Very excited about our first trip to BVI, despite the hoops we'll have to jump. We are renting a Gold Seal Certified villa and arriving at EIS with a connection at SJU. I've read through all the recent posts, but most of my questions specifically relate to the new entry protocols (12/9/20), so it looks like only a few of you have actually travelled to Tortola from the U.S. since then.

1. Test to be taken "within five days prior to arrival" -- Really nervous about the slow turn-around time of PCR results here, so we want to take our tests ASAP. If we are arriving on February 9, is that day counted or not? In other words, is the earliest day we can take our pre-arrival test Feb 4 or Feb 5?
2. We'll be renting a car, but of course taking a "government-approved vehicle" to our villa for the first four days of quarantine, so we're trying to figure out where and when to begin car rental:
~ Will we return to the airport for our Day 4 PCR test or somewhere else?
~ Do we need to pre-arrange for transportation to the Day 4 test, or will the "government-approved vehicle" pick us up?
~ Will we receive our test results on Day 5, and thus be allowed to move about the island that day? i.e., we should begin our car rental on Feb 14? (Happy Valentine's Day!)

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give us. We are keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly and we can actually be sitting in the tropical sun in a couple weeks. We are SO ready to escape our ten months of hard-core quarantining here in the northeast!
