Key protection

What is key protection?

You can add key protection cover to any of our car insurance policies. It will help cover the cost of replacing or recovering keys for your home, car and office keys should they ever get stolen, lost or broken in a lock. As well as covering you, this additional product will also cover any family members who live with you.

What's covered:

• Up to £1,500 annual cover for replacing lost, stolen or damaged keys
• Access to a 24-hour emergency helpline, 365 days a year
• Up to £75 per day (max three days) for car hire if your car is stranded
• No excess to pay if you have to make a claim
• Making a claim won't affect any no claims discount you've built up on other insurance policies.

What is not covered:

• Any claim for theft of keys which is not reported to the police and a crime reference number is not obtained
• Any claim for additional or duplicate keys
• Any claims where you can't provide valid receipts or tickets
• Keys lost or damaged in a lock by someone other than you or a member of your immediate family living at your address
• Keys stolen from someone other than you or a member of your immediate family living at the same address.

Full terms and conditions can be found in our insurance policy documents

Lost or stolen car keys

If you're forever losing things, you're not alone. On average, we spend around ten minutes a day searching for our lost items and top of the list are our mobile phones, house keys and car keys.
