Sometimes a replacement car key can be made without the original, but availability depends on the vehicle and key system.
Information a provider may need
- Year, make, model, trim, and market-specific vehicle information.
- Whether the key is a metal blade, transponder key, remote, or smart-key system.
- Proof of ownership or authorization and the vehicle identification details required by the provider.
- Whether the vehicle is accessible and whether programming or special inventory is needed.
Why a guarantee is unsafe
Vehicle systems differ, and a customer-supplied key or fob may not be compatible. Ask what is supported before travel, whether programming is included, and what happens if the supplied part does not work.
For a lockout, use the car lockout page. For quote questions, review the cost guide. Then compare car-key replacement options or check availability.
