Problems rental agencies face
With rental customers losing significantly more keys than other drivers, a lost or broken vehicle key can be a huge problem for rental companies.
- A lost key key can prevent a vehicle from being hired, resulting in a loss of revenue for your branch
- A lost key whilst a vehicle is on hire prevents customers from using the hired vehicle, resulting in unhappy customers
- A key not returned by a customer poses a potential security risk
- Faulty and broken keys can prevent your branch from renting a vehicle, resulting in unwanted downtime
This is where The Car Key People can help your Rental Agency.

The importance of a spare key
Having a spare key held in storage is crucial to the smooth daily operation of rental agencies. Access to a spare key is important for several reasons:
- It allows branches to perform a vehicle snatch back in the event a hirer does not return a vehicle
- It prevents unnecessary downtime
- It facilitates in the hassle free replacement of a lost key
We have established trusted processes with rental agencies to access their spare vehicle keys. Spare keys are posted directly to our technicians, which allows us to attend a vehicle with a working key. Existing keys are re-coded when a new key is supplied and then securely posted back to storage.
Additional services for rental agencies
Removal of unauthorised key
Has your branch recovered a stolen vehicle or had a vehicle returned by an untrustworthy customer? Let us provide peace of mind with our re-coding service.
Rental vehicles are at a high risk of being stolen by previous hirers. It is possible for a customer to hire a vehicle and arrange for a new unauthorised key to be coded by an illegitimate company.
The Car Key People can mitigate this concern by diagnostically erasing all keys from the vehicle. The existing main and spare key can then be re-coded to ensure there are no security threats.
Secure storage
Does your rental agency store keys at multiple sites? This can cause huge problems with access and inventory management.
Let us streamline your key storage. The Car Key People now securely store keys for a few select rental agencies Head over to our key storage page to learn more.
