Car key replacement

Volkswagen car keys

Volkswagen is one of the brands we photograph most often, from Golf and Polo flip keys to Transporter vans in daily commercial use. VW's flip key design is durable but the hinge and the button pad are the usual wear points, and older Golf and Passat models regularly reach us with a single surviving key.

We support many models. Send us your registration number to confirm availability and receive a quote.

Key types we see on Volkswagen

  • Three-button flip keys
  • Two-button flip keys
  • Keyless proximity keys
