Locksmith and Key Loss Handling Standards

This article explains the procedures and fees for handling situations such as locking the keys inside the car, losing the keys, needing to make a new key, or having the keys delivered during your Sky Horse rental period.

Important Note: This page explains the service fees and handling principles. The full rights and obligations are subject to the actual car rental contract.

Applicable situations

This standard applies to the following situations:

  • Lock the car keys inside the vehicle.
  • Lost car keys
  • The key needs to be duplicated.
  • Sky Horse is needed to assist in arranging key delivery.
  • The vehicle's location is more than 50 miles from the LAX store, requiring additional out-of-town service to be arranged.

According to Sky Horse's terms of service, the renter is responsible for the safekeeping of the vehicle keys if they are locked inside the vehicle or lost. If the service involves a different location, we will inform you of the estimated cost before arranging the service, and assist with arrangements after confirmation.

Local vs. Remote Determination Method

This standard is based on Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) Store As the starting point for billing.
