Citroën · spare key
Citroën spare keymobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I only have one key and want a second” — that is the call we take on Citroëns most days. Adding a spare while your existing key still works is the cheapest key job there is. With a working key present the vehicle is far easier to program to, which is why a spare today costs materially less than an all-keys-lost callout later.
How Citroën keys work
Citroën shares the PSA key platform with Peugeot and DS: flip keys on C1, C3 and C4 and proximity keys on newer trims, with Berlingo, Dispatch and Relay vans mostly on flip keys.
Berlingo and Dispatch are frequently fleet vehicles where a spare key per van prevents a very expensive lost day later.

How long a Citroën spare key takes
The fastest of the four jobs. With your working key present there is nothing to decode, so most spare-key visits on a Citroën are done in a single short appointment while you carry on with your day.
What decides the price
A spare is the cheapest key you will ever buy for a Citroën, because the vehicle is far easier to program to while a working key exists. Waiting until the last key is lost changes both the method and the price.
Citroën spare key FAQs
- Is it worth getting a spare Citroën key before I lose one?
- Yes, and it is the single piece of advice we repeat most. A spare booked in advance is a planned, low-cost visit; the same car with no keys at all is a longer, more expensive emergency job.
- Do I need to bring the Citroën anywhere for a spare key?
- No. We come to your home, work or wherever the car is parked, and cut and program the spare there. You do not need to drive anywhere or leave the vehicle with anyone.
- Are newer Citroëns covered?
- Cars and commercials across the current and previous generations.
