Key Cover provides compensation of up to €1,500 p/a should a registered insured key be accidentally lost, broken or stolen within Ireland. This covers your vehicle keys and your registered house keys (your address on your application), business premises keys not covered but Business vehicles are covered.
Why do I need it?
Lost or stolen car keys can be an extremely expensive inconvenience.
All car keys since 1995 have to be fitted with a transponder chip (linked to a vehicle immobiliser) but this advanced technology means the average cost of replacing a car key is around €300.
If your house keys are on the same fob as your car keys, you have the extra hassle and expense of changing your home door lock too, but this will be covered by your key insurance policy
