Renault keys and key cards, at the car

Renault keys I can help with

Many Renaults, including the Mégane, Scénic, Captur and later Clio, use a flat key card. Depending on the car, it either slides into a slot on the dash or stays in your pocket for hands-free entry and push-button start. There’s an emergency blade hidden inside for opening the door if the card stops working.

Older Clios and many Renault vans use a more traditional key with a blade and remote buttons. Both types have to be programmed to the car.

Common Renault key problems

  • “Card not detected” or the car won’t start with the card.
  • Key card cracked, or the buttons on it worn out.
  • Lost key card and no spare.
  • Remote key on an older Clio or Kangoo stopped working.
  • Trafic or Master van key lost.

Tips for Renault key cards

Key cards live in wallets and back pockets, so they bend and crack more easily than a normal key. Keeping the card out of a back pocket, changing the battery when warnings start and keeping a spare card at home all help avoid being stuck.

What happens when you call

Tell me the model, year and registration of your Renault, and whether you still have a working key. I’ll confirm the price by phone, then come out to the car — at home, at work or at the roadside. The new key is cut where needed, programmed to the car and tested on the doors, remote and engine before I leave.

Price

I quote each job individually because the key type and the car make a difference. You’ll know the price before anything is booked, and work comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Questions people ask

My Renault says the card isn’t detected. What can I try?

A weak card battery is a common cause. On many models you can still start the car by putting the card in the reader slot, if your car has one — check your handbook. If it keeps happening, call me and describe the warning.

Can you make a new Renault key card?

For many models, yes. I programme the new card to the car so it opens and starts it like the original.

Can a cracked Renault card be repaired?

Sometimes. If the electronics still work, a new shell can often be fitted. If not, a replacement card can be made.

Do you do keys for Renault vans?

Yes, including the Kangoo, Trafic and Master. I come to wherever the van is.
