Lost Your Car Keys? – Fast Recovery and Cost-Saving Tips with HERQ
Losing your car key can quickly turn a good day into a stressful situation. Whether they slipped out of your pocket, got misplaced at work, or were left behind during errands, being locked out of your vehicle is something many drivers face. The HERQ Lost & Found app makes this process easier by letting you publish a lost or found notice instantly, alerting people nearby, and giving you a much higher chance of recovering your keys quickly.
Types of Car Keys Frequently Lost
- Traditional metal keys – simple, common, but difficult to trace once misplaced.
- Remote control keys – often dropped in parking lots, gyms, or shopping malls.
- Keyless entry fobs – small, easy to misplace, and critical for modern cars.
- Smart keys with security chips – advanced but expensive to replace, costing €200–500 on average.
With HERQ, each of these key types can be listed in detail, helping finders recognize and return the exact item they’ve come across.

Replacement vs. Recovery
If your car keys are not recovered quickly, replacement may be necessary:
