At least one spare car key is essential for every car owner as an emergency solution in cases of misplaced, stolen, or damaged keys.

Gone are the days when a spare key meant a simple piece of metal, either. Today’s car keys are advanced, featuring various electronic components that seamlessly communicate with your vehicle for added security.

But how long does it take to get a spare car key made? And what considerations are necessary before you get started? In our busy lives, time is of the essence and no one wants to be waiting around for a replacement car key. Fortunately, unlike many of our competitors, we offer a unique mobile service – we can come to your home, your place of work or wherever you have parked your vehicle!

This article will provide you with everything you need to know about getting a spare car key made, from understanding different types of keys to finding the best service provider.

What are the Various Forms of Spare Keys Available?

Before diving into the process of getting a spare car key made, it’s important to understand the various types of keys available, including:

• Traditional keys: These are simple metal keys that are cut to fit the lock cylinder in your car. They offer no additional security features.
• Transponder keys: Keys embedded with microchips that communicate with your car’s immobiliser system. The chip sends a unique code to the car, allowing it to start when the code is recognised.
• Smart keys: Also known as proximity or keyless entry keys, smart keys allow you to unlock and start your car without inserting a key. They typically have buttons for locking, unlocking, and starting your car, and work within a certain proximity to your vehicle.
