Replacement car key insurance can be a good solution if you have lost your car key and need to get it replaced. Now replacement keys may equate to costly propositions and this is natural since the keys are the first barrier, preventing theft of the vehicle in question. However, if you wish to bypass the high costs of the same, you can always resort to lost key replacement insurance which will cover all expenditure in this regard.

You can always make a claim on your car insurance policy. Many experts feel that key replacement insurance is always a good option and highly convenient as well. Several insurance companies may offer a dedicated insurance policy for lost keys or key cover as a standard component of the whole car insurance policy. The replacement cost can thus be claimed from the policy in case of loss/theft of the car key. Leaving aside those who offer key cover as a standard component, other companies offer coverage only for stolen and lost keys as an add-on component. Always check your car key replacement insurance policy documents carefully in order to see whether this component is already present or not. If not, you should make sure that it is incorporated into the insurance policy at the time of renewal.

When it comes to a dedicated key cover policy offered by your insurance company, the whole procedure is more straightforward. There are a few policies which also have car hire coverage in case you are left stranded due to theft/loss of the car key and cannot drive the vehicle. However, you should always check the terms and conditions minutely since some policies may have provisions stating how keys should be missing/lost for a specific duration prior to the implementation of the coverage.

In other cases, if your keys have been mistakenly left inside the car and it is now locked, you should reach out to breakdown services that will help in retrieving the vehicle in case you have this component included in your insurance policy. Suppose the rescue team cannot open your vehicle. In such a situation, they will be arranging for a requisite service professional to check the situation although you may have to fork out the charges for this purpose. In case both options do not work at that moment, the car may be taken to the nearest service center or garage for fixing the problem. You will be given adequate transportation as well in this scenario. You may have coverage for the recovery cost of the spare key and several premium packages do have provisions for costs linked to retrieval of spare keys from your own home.

If all else fails, you will have to purchase a new car key set from your dealership and the high costs are attributed to the entire re-programming required for linking the new set to your vehicle which covers alarm control, keyless entry, remote locking and more. However, in some cases, this can take anywhere between 5-10 days. You may get faster service at a local garage that specializes in this job although you will have to pay up there since these are probably not covered under your insurance policy. You can however make a claim later on once the problem has been sorted out with relevant supporting documents. When you go to collect the new keys, you should have your vehicle registration and insurance documents with you along with the driving license or any other ID since you may have to prove car ownership.
