Do you carry second car key with you? (rental, vehicle, compared)

[tipitop]

I do and it change my life. I do that already for 7 years. I have bunch of keys in one pocket and I take a separate key for car that I plan to drive and use that separate one. No more thinking if I will lock key.

I carry a spare house and car key with me. I refuse to ever be locked out.

It changed your life? Perhaps you were giving way too much thought to the possibility of locking yourself out of your car.

Most modern cars with key-less start make it difficult to lock your key in the car.

I use a hide-a-key box and stick it in the frame rails or bumpers. They are not only good for when keys are locked in cars but if someone wants to move/borrow the vehicle and I am out of town with the key sets.

I only bring an extra when I go get the car washed or serviced

Speak of obsessions..
I simply have car key on a neck string. Key and string are next to wallet, along with office keys and badges, also on the string. It's all in one place and is virtually impossible to forget.
Of course, my car has key fob, not key. That's how I can allow myself simply hang that ke/foby on my neck, and she knows "master is here".

So I have to take my normal keys that I use daily then put the spare in my other pocket?

I have enough junk with my wallet, phone, and keys in my pockets.

I just call up my parents or my GF if I lock the keys in the car....hardly life threatening.

If this is his only worry, his life is golden compared to others.

No way. My only spare key is at home. In the 15 years I've owned my car, I've locked myself out exactly 1 time. I called my mom (husband was at work and not available), and she came and got me and drove me to my house to get the spare and back to the car.

Ironically, the one time I have locked myself out was when I drove to a rental with the spare key because the tenant had locked themselves out of their house. /sigh

I have the spare for my husband's car. He's not locked himself out of his car yet in the 7 years he's had it.

Now if I did a lot of driving into rural areas, I might consider carrying an extra key, just in case. But around town, worst case scenario, I have AAA.
