Renault Car Keys in Eastleigh
Renault key trouble? Call 02382 180574
Renault did things differently for years — the Megane's card-style key is nothing like a conventional car key — and that history still shapes the work. Replacement, spare and programmed keys and cards for the Clio, Megane, Captur and the Trafic van range.

Two Renault designs matter here. Older Clios, Meganes and Scenics often carry a keycard — a flat plastic card the driver slots or simply keeps in a pocket — while most current models have moved to conventional flip keys with remote buttons. The card era left a lot of owners without a physical blade in the door, which is its own conversation when a card is lost. Knowing which system the vehicle carries is the first step, and the registration answers it.
Renault keys we supply and program
Remote flip keys
The fitment on most Clios, Capturs and Meganes from recent years: a folding blade with lock and unlock buttons. A replacement is cut and programmed so the immobiliser and central locking both accept it.
Keycards
The card system on older Meganes and Scenics can still be supported where the equipment matches the vehicle — worth a call to check before assuming the only answer is the dealer.
Keyless cards and fobs
Newer Renaults with hands-free entry take a proximity card or fob. Where the vehicle supports it, replacements are programmed for full keyless operation, with an emergency blade cut for the door.
Trafic and Kangoo van keys
The Trafic is the van twin of the Vauxhall Vivaro, so the same key work covers both. See van keys for the commercial service.
