Renault spare keymobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I only have one key and want a second” — that is the call we take on Renaults 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 Renault keys work
Renault splits into two worlds: the hands-free card key (Megane, Scenic, Laguna and later Clio and Captur trims) and conventional remote/flip keys on the rest. Card keys are their own discipline — they are programmed to the car, not cut.
Trafic and Master vans are usually flip keys and remotes rather than cards, and they are frequently a work vehicle that cannot sit idle — we prioritise them accordingly.
What this job includes
- Cut and programmed alongside your working key
- Usually the quickest job we do
- Sensible for a used vehicle bought with only one key
- Same mobile service — we come to you

How long a Renault 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 Renault 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 Renault, 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.
Renault spare key FAQs
- Is it worth getting a spare Renault 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 Renault 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 Renaults covered?
- Cards and remotes across the mainstream Renault range. Newer cards depend on the exact system; we confirm before travel.
