How much does a duplicate car key cost?

I want to get my son a key for our Toyota Corolla, so we don’t have to share anymore. How much would it cost to get a duplicate key?

Making an additional copy of a key is a great idea! While it’s easier for your son to have a copy, it also ensures you won’t ever be
locked out
of your car.
When duplicating a key, the cost depends on what type of key you have. A newer Toyota Corolla with a key fob will likely be between $150 and $300. For an older model or a manual key, the cost will be much lower.
To determine the actual cost of duplicating your key, reach out to several places, including:
  • Dealerships
  • Online
  • Locksmiths
  • Auto stores
In some instances, you can purchase a key fob online and have a locksmith cut the key for you instead of ordering it through a dealership. That said, shopping around ensures you are getting the best price for a duplicate key.
