Vauxhall key replacement in Portsmouth
Vauxhall keys split into two families. Older Corsas, Astras and Insignias use Vauxhall's own flip and remote keys, while models from around 2019 onwards share key systems with Peugeot and Citroën. We handle both on site – the first step is simply telling us your registration.
How much does a replacement Vauxhall key cost in Portsmouth?
A Vauxhall spare key usually costs £150–£290 when you still have a working key, and replacing a lost Vauxhall key typically costs £200–£450 when every key is gone. The price depends on the key type and immobiliser system. We cut and program Vauxhall keys at your car across Portsmouth & the PO postcode area and confirm a fixed price from your registration first.

Old and new Vauxhall key systems
Flip and remote keys (pre-2019)
A transponder chip in the head of the key talks to the immobiliser; the remote buttons are paired separately. Very common on Corsa D/E and Astra J/K.
Stellantis-platform keys (2019 on)
The Corsa F, Mokka B and Astra L use a different key and immobiliser system from older Vauxhalls, closer to Peugeot's.
Keyless entry
Proximity keys that unlock as you approach and start with a button, on higher trims of newer models.
