I think a second hand one can be reprogrammed to your car these days.
Wasn't always the case, so best to check that first.

Maybe get a used one from ebay then get it matched to your car.

Better advice can probably be had from a specialist Renault forum.
Maybe this one.

Don't forget that you will also need to get a new emergency key cut to let you manually open the front nearside door.
No idea how you get that done though, without anything to copy.
Maybe main dealer for that.

But again, do check that a used card key can be reprogrammed to your car before buying. :beer:

I have joined the forum and asked the question but i'm waiting to be approved my car is unlocked at the moment as I had unlocked it before I lost the key card so I shouldn't need to get a key cut to open the car....

I have had some experience with Renaults, and I know for certain that on certain models, you have to get the key card from a dealer and it arrives pre-programmed from Renault - advise you check with a dealer before buying a 2nd hand one & finding it can't be programmed?

thanks...that seems to be the opinion on that forum as well.....they dont recommend buying off e bay

Try googling "Renault keys" or similar wording for your area, I tried this in my home city and there were 1,800,000 results (in 0.16 seconds)!!
One result is described on their website as a 24 hour emergency auto locksmith.

Definitely speak to a Renault Dealer. I think you'll find that they have to refer the matter to France, so tight are the security controls on new cards. Second hand cards can't be reprogrammed at all to a different vehicle.
