A spare car key is more than a luxury, it's an insurance policy. Not against major damage, but against small setbacks that can ruin your day: a lost key, a lockout or a faulty chip.
The three most common key problems
Loss is the most obvious reason. The likelihood of losing your car key at some point in your life is significant, especially if you drive daily. A second scenario is the lockout: key in the ignition or on the seat, door slams shut. The third and most underestimated problem is wear. A car key with a failing chip or damaged electronics starts dropping out before it gives up entirely. That can leave you stranded on a car park with no backup.
A spare key now is cheaper than later
Having a spare key cut while you still have a working original starts at €99. Wait until your only key is faulty or gone and you face an all-keys-lost situation: the immobiliser must be read and an entirely new key set programmed. That costs more and takes longer. Investing in a spare key now saves money, time and stress later.
