Škoda · spare key
Škoda spare keymobile, at your vehicle, 24/7
“I only have one key and want a second” — that is the call we take on Škodas 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 Škoda keys work
Fabia, Octavia, Superb, Karoq and Kodiaq use VW Group flip keys, with KESSY keyless entry and start on higher trims.
Octavias used for private hire cannot afford downtime, so a spare cut and programmed in advance is the cheapest insurance there is.

How long a Škoda 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 Škoda 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 Škoda, 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.
Škoda spare key FAQs
- Is it worth getting a spare Škoda 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 Škoda 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 Škodas covered?
- Wide coverage; keyless systems confirmed by registration.
