Fob car key – Fob chip car key: Usually looks like some sort of remote and therefore will need to be programmed.
Chip car key – Transponder chip car key: Usually has a black cover on the top of the key. This is where the chip is located and therefore will need to be programmed.

A: In a nutshell, to replace a car key usually cost between $60-$500. (Not including high-end car keys). It depends on a few factors:
- Type of key
- The year manufactured
- Time of day & your location
- Where you get a key replacement (Dealer, automotive locksmith, online, etc)
- Availability of code to cut a new key
- Original ignition or not
The type of key you had and the year the car was manufactured are maybe the most important factors.(chip, intelligent fob, “push to start”, remote, regular “non-transponder” key). The newer the car is, the better security features the key had and therefore you can expect to pay more than $250 for a replacement key.
