How much is a new car key?
My boyfriend and I have decided to be a one-car household to cut back on our emissions output. Since I have the newer car, he decided to sell his. We need a second set of keys for the car. How much will a new key cost?

Cutting back on your emissions output is a great way to show you care about our planet! It can definitely be an adjustment, but it’ll be worth it in the long run.
How much a new car key will cost varies greatly since there are so many different kinds of keys nowadays. But you can expect to spend anywhere from $50 to $350, depending on the type.
- Basic key fobs: $50 to $110
- Transponder keys: $150 to $225
- Laser cut keys: $150 to $225
- Switchblade keys: $150 to $350
- Keyless entry remotes: $250 to $600
The dealership or locksmith will need the following to make a new key for you:
- The year, make, and model of your car
- Proof of ownership (registration and title)
- A working key
