How can you open a Honda trunk without the key?

I was bringing in the groceries from my car and accidentally locked my keys in the trunk. Is there a way to open a Honda Accord trunk without the key?

Oh, no—I’m sorry to hear you locked your keys in the trunk of your
Honda Accord
! Fortunately, if the doors are unlocked, you can still open the trunk.
To open a Honda trunk without the key, you should first check if you have a spare key or fob. If you do, problem solved!
If you don’t have a spare and the doors are unlocked, you can open the trunk using one of the following methods:
  • Use the trunk release located on the left side of the steering wheel near the driver’s seat footwell.
  • Fold down the rear seat, crawl into the trunk, and use the emergency release handle.
If the doors are locked, you will need to call a locksmith or roadside assistance to retrieve your keys.
The good news is that if you need assistance, the lockout should be covered if you have
towing and labor coverage
on your
car insurance
policy.
If you don’t have towing and labor coverage and want to add it, you can ensure you’re not overpaying by using
