Car Locksmith at Gatwick Airport

Landed at Gatwick and your car won't open, won't start, or the key never made it home? You don't need a recovery truck. Royale Car Keys is a mobile auto locksmith that comes to your bay in any Gatwick car park — North Terminal, South Terminal, long-stay, short-stay or meet-and-greet — and sorts it at the car. We've attended jobs at Gatwick before; it's a car-park job for us, not a special trip.

The three problems we see most after a flight: keys locked inside after unloading luggage (non-destructive car lockout from £98), a key lost in transit — left abroad or in delayed hold luggage (a new key cut and programmed at the car, from £119 with no spare), and a car that won't start after two weeks in long-stay, which is usually a flat battery or a dead fob rather than the key. Tell us what the dashboard does and we bring the right kit.

We reach Gatwick from our Kent and south London base via the M25 and M23, give you a realistic arrival window on the phone, and call again from the car-park barrier. No V5C needed at the car — photo ID plus your insurance or breakdown app is enough for the ownership check. Payment on completion, 2-year warranty on keys.

Before you call anyone, see our airport car keys guide — the fob trick and the app check there solve a surprising number of "lockouts" for free.
