Sorry to hear about your situation; but fear not! You can unlock a 2014
Toyota Corolla
without a key by using one of the following methods:
  • Double-check that all of your car doors and the trunk are locked. If you’re lucky, you might have left a door or the trunk unlocked, which can provide you access to the interior of the vehicle.
  • Call a locksmith. Locksmiths have the tools and expertise to unlock your car. If you have roadside assistance or
    towing and labor coverage
    , a locksmith shouldn’t cost you anything. If you don’t have roadside assistance, expect to pay between $75 and $150 for locksmith service.
  • Buy a slim jim to jimmy open the lock. Available at most auto parts stores, a slim jim is a thin piece of metal that you can slide between the window and the door frame to unlock the vehicle.
  • Use a metal hanger. Take the hanger apart and try to put it in at the top of the window. With a bit of patience, you may be able to hit the lock or the auto-unlock and open up the car.
If you don’t have roadside assistance or towing and labor coverage, you may want to consider it in the future. But if your current insurer doesn’t offer such a product, make sure to shop around for alternatives with the
