Dacia · spare key
Dacia spare keymobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I only have one key and want a second” — that is the call we take on Dacias 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 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.

How long a Dacia 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 Dacia 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 Dacia, 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.
Dacia spare key FAQs
- Is it worth getting a spare Dacia 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 Dacia 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 Dacias covered?
- Most Dacias sold in the UK are covered; we confirm the key type first.
