Spare Car Keys — Cut & Programmed at Your Door
The cheapest time to get a car key is while you still have a working one. Our mobile technicians cut and programme a spare key at your home or workplace — usually in under an hour.
Spare Car Keys — Be Prepared Before You Need It
Having a spare car key is one of the most sensible investments a vehicle owner can make. As long as you still have one working key, making a spare is a straightforward job: we copy the mechanical blade and programme the new key’s transponder alongside your existing one. No vehicle entry, no lock decoding, no immobiliser reset.
That is exactly why a spare made today costs from £99, while an all-keys-lost replacement of the same key starts from £199 — and can take twice as long.
Why Get a Spare Key Now?
- Avoid the all-keys-lost premium — the same key costs roughly half as much while you still have a working one
- Avoid emergency lockout call-outs — a spare at home means no waiting at the roadside
- Convenient for family members — partners, parents and named drivers get their own key
- A worn key is a warning — if your only key is cracked or the buttons are failing, copy it before it dies
What’s Included in Every Spare Key
- The key itself — blank, shell and electronics supplied by us
- Precision cutting of the key blade (where applicable)
- Full transponder / remote / smart key programming to your vehicle
- Testing in all relevant locks and the ignition
- 30-day written guarantee on all work
Which Key Type Do I Have?
- Transponder key — a plain key with a chip inside; it starts the car but has no buttons
- Remote key — buttons for central locking on the key or fob, plus a metal blade
- Smart / proximity key — the car unlocks and starts while the key stays in your pocket

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I get a spare car key? +
A spare car key is invaluable if you lose your primary key, lock yourself out, or need a family member to access the vehicle. A spare made now (from £99) costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost replacement later (from £199), which requires immobiliser work and vehicle entry.
How much does a spare key cost? +
Spare transponder keys start from £99, remote keys from £139, and smart/proximity keys from £199. The exact price depends on your vehicle make, model and year — send us your registration number and a photo of your key for a fixed quote.
Will my insurance cover a spare key? +
Some comprehensive car insurance policies include key cover as standard or as an add-on. Check your policy, as the cost of a spare key programmed now is often far less than an emergency replacement later.
How long does it take to make a spare key? +
Standard transponder key: 30–60 minutes. Smart/keyless entry key: 60–90 minutes. All done at your chosen location with no need to visit a garage.
