Are key fobs covered under the Hyundai warranty?

I lost the key fob to my Hyundai Elantra and just found out that they’re really expensive to replace. I’m hoping that my warranty will cover a replacement. Does my Hyundai warranty cover key fobs?

That’s too bad about your key fob! Replacing a key fob is only covered under the
Hyundai
Protection Plan’s Key Replacement Protection. That means if you only have other warranties, like the Powertrain Limited Warranty or the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your key fob will not be covered.
The Hyundai Protection Plan’s Key Replacement Protection is for all key-related emergencies. Long gone are the days when you can just cut a second key. Fobs are sophisticated and intricate and can control more than just a car’s locks.
This warranty comes with no deductible and a monthly payment option. Part of this coverage includes:
  • Reimbursement for replacement of a vehicle’s key or transponder and the necessary programming.
  • 24-hour vehicle lock-out assistance with locksmith services covered up to $100.
  • Transferable to another vehicle.
This often-overlooked warranty is worth the cost for the peace of mind alone. The last thing you want is to be locked out of your car for an extended period.
Another way to get peace of mind is to review your
Hyundai car insurance costs
to confirm that you’re not overpaying. Luckily, there’s
