Frequently asked questions
Aura Assistance is available to all nationalities and countries of residence (subject to applicable immigration rules and sanctions).
Not all travel assistance/insurance plans are compliant with the specific requirements set out for The British Virgin Islands Travel Authorization. Aura Assistance was specifically designed and tailored for the British Virgin Islands tourists in conjunction with the government and tourism board to meet the needs of COVID-19, as well as, additional illness and/or accident emergencies.
The Aura Assistance Travel plan can only be purchased up to 12 months in advance, strictly before your departure date. It is an additional requirement of The Aura Assistance Travel plan for all beneficiaries to successfully complete the BVI Gateway Authorization Portal and obtain a negative COVID-19 PCR test result from an accredited laboratory prior to travel to the British Virgin Islands. Failure to comply with these requirements will void The Aura Assistance Travel plan in its entirety.
Please contact Our Emergency Management Center on +1 844 8267 946 in case of injury or illness during your trip. You must request and obtain authorization from the Emergency Management Center before taking any step or incurring any expenses in relation to the benefits provided by the Aura Assistance plan.
You can pay online using a valid credit or debit card.
No, our Travel Plan provides comprehensive coverage assistance on a variety of illnesses, conditions and/or accidents (Including COVID-19). Please see General Conditions Policy Document for further details, as well, as a full list of exclusions.
Aura Assistance is strictly a travel assistance service; not an insurance policy.
The difference between the two is that travel assistance services provide 24/7 immediate support and coverage for costs in case an emergency occurs during your trip including but not limited to medical evacuation/repatriation and medical/hospitalization costs. Travel insurance provides retrospective monetary reimbursement for specific losses that occurred during your trip.
You can buy or use your own travel or health insurance to supplement the GEMA & Aura Assistance plan but it is recommended not to replace it. Few plans offer comprehensive COVID-19 coverage that GEMA & Aura Assistance offers and many foreign insurers don’t have a 24/7 assistance helpline. GEMA & Aura Assistance will act secondary to any other existing insurance policy you may have.
Please contact Our Emergency Management Center on +1 844 8267 946 in case of injury or illness during your trip, or if you test positive for COVID-19 or your symptoms worsen and you require emergency assistance.
Each travelling member would require a policy in order to obtain coverage under our assistance plan; however, for ease you can name up to 8 passengers on any one Aura Assistance plan. Each member will have their own separate coverage and limits. The price of the policy will be USD 9.75 per day, per person named on the Aura Assistance plan.
Yes, your Aura Assistance plan is still valid even if your government advises you not to travel to the British Virgin Islands (subject to applicable immigration rules and sanctions).

We are unable to accept cancellations after the original scheduled departure date.
