Declare 

 All PDA applicants, renewing members and members changing between categories must complete our membership declaration to ensure PDA meets the requirements of our insurer and insurance policies. If this declaration is not completed fully and honestly, you will not have any PDA protection or support.

Pay 

New member applications and payment can only be made by credit or debit card through our website, as each application is manually reviewed and approved before payment is taken.

Your membership will be start on the date you applied, once your application has been considered and approved. You will be notified via email once this process has been completed, along with a copy of your invoice/receipt.

Card payments incur a 1.7% transaction fee that is charged by the payment processing company and will not appear on your membership invoice/receipt. Make sure to wait for payment completion at the Windcave screen, then click Next after payment is confirmed so that your payment registers in our database.

When renewing your membership, another payment option for bank to bank transfer will become available that does not incur a fee.
