If an insured key has been stolen you must report it to the police immediately and get a crime reference number. Keycare cannot deal with your claim for stolen keys until you report the theft and confirm the crime reference number to us.

If the keys attached to the key fob are lost we may ask you to wait for a period of 48 hours before making a claim.

If you feel that a security risk exists because the lost key is traceable to your property you should replace the locks within the 48 hour waiting period. In this instance you must pay for all costs.

If your insured key is not found during the waiting period we will reimburse you for any costs you have incurred. We will only reimburse costs up to the cover limit shown in your policy schedule. If during the waiting period you find your key we will not pay any of your costs.

You can submit your claim to Keycare by calling 0345 303 0550 Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm or Saturday 9am to 3pm. If you require emergency assistance you can call our 24 hour emergency assistance helpline on 0345 303 0550.
