Spare car keys save time and stress if a car key is lost or damaged. You should make a duplicate car key before your key is lost, as there are many times a duplicate car key is needed.

Older, simpler car keys can be cut with the proper equipment, while more advanced keys need extra programming for a duplicate key to work with the car’s security system.

Each car’s key has different equipment needed to make a copy. Each car's year, make, and model will change how you copy a car key. The most advanced car keys might require the car's manufacturer to copy it for you.

Check to make sure that the company you want to use can make a car key for your car. The price should also cover cutting and programming the key. After you get your car key copied, hide it in a safe place.
