Dacia · key replacement
Dacia key replacementmobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I need a new key for my car” — that is the call we take on Dacias most days. A replacement key is created and paired to your vehicle at the roadside or on your driveway. Where the key has a blade it is cut to your locks; where it is a proximity fob the work is entirely electronic. The vehicle never leaves you.
How Dacia keys work
Dacia uses the Renault key platform — Sandero, Duster and Jogger appear with both remote keys and hands-free cards depending on trim and year.
Higher trims are far more likely to carry a card system than the base cars, which changes the job and the price. The registration settles it.
What this job includes
- Key supplied, cut where applicable and programmed to the vehicle
- Tested on locks, ignition or start button before we leave
- Old keys can be deleted so a lost key can no longer start the car
- Photo ID and proof of ownership checked before any work

How long a Dacia key replacement takes
A straight replacement sits between a spare and an all-keys-lost job. If you still hold a working key it is quick; if the lost key was your only one, it becomes the all-keys-lost route below and takes longer.
What decides the price
Price is driven by the key type (Dacia bladed remote versus proximity fob), the model year, and whether a working key still exists. That is why we ask for the registration before quoting rather than after arriving.
Dacia key replacement FAQs
- Will my old Dacia key still work after a replacement?
- Only if you want it to. If a key has been lost or stolen we can delete it from the vehicle so it can never start the car again — say so when you book, because it means bringing every remaining key to the visit.
- Is a replacement key from you the same as a dealer key?
- It performs the same job — lock, unlock and start — and is programmed to your Dacia in the same way. We are mobile and come to the vehicle, which is the practical difference for most people.
- Are newer Dacias covered?
- Most Dacias sold in the UK are covered; we confirm the key type first.
