How it works

  1. 1. Send the van's details

    Registration, make, model and year, where it's parked, and whether any key still works.

  2. 2. We check and confirm

    We verify the van is one we can help with, then explain the work and the price before anything is agreed.

  3. 3. We come to you

    Driveway, yard or job site. Ownership is verified before any key is made.

Van key FAQs

What if I've lost every key to the van?

That's often possible for the models we advertise, but it always comes down to the specific van and its key system. Send the registration, model and year and we'll check before anything else.

Is it worth getting a spare cut while my current key still works?

Definitely. Getting a spare sorted while you've still got a working key is far more straightforward than dealing with an all-keys-lost situation down the line.

What details do you need from me?

The registration, make, model and year, whether a working key exists, and whereabouts the van is parked.

Do I need to drive the van to you?

No — this is a mobile service, so we'll come to wherever the van is, whether that's home, a work site or the roadside, provided it's safe to work there.

Can a remote key be replaced?

For most of the vans we cover, yes, though exactly what's possible depends on the make and key system.

What's your Mercedes coverage?

Sprinter up to 2018 (not including the older bladed-key models), Vito up to 2014, and Citan. We don't cover the newer FBS4 systems.

What determines the cost?

The make, model and year, the type of key needed, whether you still have a working key, and the work involved. We'll confirm a price once we know what van we're dealing with.

What do I need to prove I own the van?

A V5C logbook, finance or lease documents, or written authorisation from the business that owns it, together with photo ID.
