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.
