LV= car insurance keys warning

The breakdown company Britannia Rescue, owned by LV=, has warned that drivers should keep a spare pair of car keys with them at all times in case they lock their primary set in their car.

Almost three million drivers in the UK do not have a spare pair of car keys and could face steep costs for unlocking their vehicle should they lock their keys in, a survey from Britannia Rescue found.

A full one in six drivers in Britain admit that they have lost their keys permanently in the past, the research discovered.

Martin Milliner at Britannia Rescue says: "Accessing vehicles built since 1998 is generally more time-consuming and expensive for drivers due to the introduction of increasingly sophisticated alarms, immobilisers, and shielded locks.

"The cost of getting back behind the wheel could really rocket if work is needed on the ignition or security system as well."

Keeping one's spare keys in a "sensible" case could mean avoiding the time and expense required to break into one's car, added Mr Milliner.

According to Britannia Rescue, over 98 per cent of the company's customers are happy with its service.
