KEY REPLACEMENT COVER IN CAR INSURANCE

We tend to be extremely careless with our car keys and often end up misplacing or losing them. In such cases, the key replacement cover in car insurance is extremely useful. The loss of a key or damage of car locks can be inconvenient and result in unnecessary expenses. In order to evade

such circumstances, the key replacement cover is an excellent choice.  

Under this cover, you can insure three types of keys, namely, traditional car keys, remote car keys and smart keys. Remote keys have in-built encryptions that are specifically suited for your car. Therefore, the cost of replacing such complex mechanisms can be quite a burden. Thus, such a cover can help save up costs.

Types of Car Keys Available in the Market 

There are three basic types of car keys available, which include: 

  • Traditional Car Keys

These keys are made of steel and are the most basic car keys. This type of car key has no special features and can be easily duplicated by the locksmith.

  • Remote Car Keys

Remote car keys come with a transponder through which you can lock or unlock the door of your car. This is the special security offered by this type of key. However, as compared to traditional keys, they are more expensive.

  • Smart Keys

Smart keys can be locked and unlocked without touching or any physical contact. As the name suggests, they are more high-tech than the normal keys. These are more expensive than the traditional and remote car keys.

Why Replacement of Key FOB/Remote Key is Expensive

A remote key or key FOB is not just a simple locking tool that uses interlinking mechanisms. Key FOBs are a sort of in-built encryption system with their own mini processors and software that are aligned to work only with your car. If you lose or misplace your key FOB, the car company has to issue a similar key FOB to you, which can work with your car’s security system. The cost of replacing a basic key FOB can range from ₹8,000 to ₹10,000. If you have a smart key FOB that serves various complicated functions, this cost will only go higher. Thus, a key protection add-on cover can help you save money on these costs.
