Land Rover · spare key
Land Rover spare keymobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I only have one key and want a second” — that is the call we take on Land Rovers 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 Land Rover keys work
Defender, Discovery and Discovery Sport run proximity keys on recent generations and remote/transponder keys on older ones. Both need programming to the vehicle's immobiliser; only the older bladed keys also need cutting.
The new Defender is a proximity-key vehicle; older Defenders and Freelanders are usually transponder keys that also need the blade cut. Discovery sits either side of that line depending on year.
What this job includes
- Cut and programmed alongside your working key

- Sensible for a used vehicle bought with only one key

How long a Land Rover 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 Land Rover 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 Land Rover, 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.
Land Rover spare key FAQs
- Is it worth getting a spare Land Rover 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 Land Rover 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 Land Rovers covered?
- Most Land Rovers of the last two decades are workable at the roadside. Newer vehicles depend on the key system fitted — send the registration and we will confirm.
