    ... I have just realised that I have lost my car keys...

    At the risk of stating the obvious...
    When we parked at Luton, we gave the car keys to the nice man at the car park. Are you sure you didn't do this and have just forgotten that you did this?
    I know nothing - really!!

    Why not ring the car park where you parked your car ?

    They must be used to dealing with various requests during the year ?

    good luck
    :p

    Go to the nearest Mercedes dealer in Morroco...there'll definately be one. If the company is worth its salt then you might be able to get new keys over there. And, yes, you should ammend your post.

    Do you have the code number for the key or can you get hold of it? If you do a dealer should be able to make a new key. Alternatively try https://www.yell.com look up a locksmith and book some time with them for when you get back to the airport, and at least you will get your house keys. You could also try joining the AA online https://www.theaa.com £35.25 for on-line joining then call them out when you get to the airport. Not too honest but they get a new membership out of it.

    Or call your local Merc garage from there and see what they suggest?

    If you join the RAC on line now they will certainly be able to open your car. There are only two cars they currently cannot open without a key and and all models of Mercs are openable by them.

    However, you'll still need a key. All Merc details should be on their central database and they should be able to provide a key from that. You need to arrange for a Merc dealer near to Luton to have a key available for you on your return. You'll need ID so they will release it you. And expect to pay well over £100 for the privilege - possibly nearer £200!!

    Good luck
