Spare key vs All Keys Lost

The band £95–£295 is a spare key guide: you still have at least one working Volkswagen Polo key. All Keys Lost (every key gone) needs extra security steps and is quoted individually after we read your registration.

Typical on-site time for a spare key is 45–60 minutes. We confirm blanks, frequency and any online tokens before work starts.

What is specific to the Volkswagen Polo

Polo 6R/6C (2009–2017) is usually a compact flip remote; AW (2017–) moved many trims onto Kessy smart keys, especially Beats and R-Line. The blade is typically HU66. Because Polos are often a first car or a city runabout, the most common call is a single remaining key that has started to stick — cheaper to clone now than to do All Keys Lost from a car park at 11 pm.

If the Polo is keyless, a CarGuard CAN immobiliser is the usual next conversation after we have cut the spare — relay theft on Polos is well documented in UK insurance data.
