Travelers to pay for transport to quarantine accommodations

This cost was previously included in the $175 per person fee that also covered the cost of the two mandatory tests and transportation to/from those testing locations.

So does this mean they are going to lower the cost of the 175.00 ~ one would like to think they would but I highly doubt it. They really need to pick a program and stick with it.

This, like many of their directives, only appears to deal with taxi transportation. They never seem to consider that some guests will be staying on the "Sister Islands" of Jost Van Dyke, Virgin Gorda, and Anegada. So far, those guests have been taken by private boats to the island on which their accommodations are located. I'm not sure what happens to those travelers now. That could be a substantial cost increase.

Stand by for an update from the BVI Government. They pulled the original poster so it has disappeared where people shared it. There are copies still on various social media platforms but I would assume they are revising or enhancing it.

Just had to pay taxi ourselves for our 4 day test on VG.....

Neighbors had to pay today for water taxi to Trellis and taxi to town. Asked about $175 fee and were told it is not being reduced.

How much?
We paid $20 RT plus tip for taxi...which was ok....can’t imagine how much the boat transfer from Beef island to VG would have been!

Or Beef Island to Anegada . . .

Party of three - $272 plus tips.

From VG to Tortola?

No, that is probably more. But you can test on VG, so that would be less.

But when you land at beef island, get tested, then need to transport to VG...we had a nice boat transfer with just the 2bof us...

Here is the latest. Arriving passengers are to pay for ground transportation (already implemented). Sea transportation will continue to be paid by the BVI Government through April 23 and in the intervening time they will hold stakeholder meetings to discuss the rates and implementation.

In addition to the two slides, below, from the Tourist Board, a Press Release was also issued:
BVI Government Press Release regarding transportation costs for arriving passengers

Understand problem is government has not paid providers.
