How do I duplicate a car remote?
How do I duplicate a car remote?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“The easiest way to duplicate your car remote is to
go to the dealer
and buy one. However, this will cost you
$200 or more
.
The good part about remotes from a dealership is they are often covered under your warranty or
insurance
in the event they are stolen or malfunctioning.
A cheaper option is to get a programmable car remote for
$20 to $50
. Then, you can program it by doing the following:
Open the driver’s side door, press the unlock button, and put the new key in the ignition.
Turn the key from the off to on position eight times within 10 seconds.
Press any of the buttons on the new remote within 20 seconds.
These directions will work with most duplicates, but check the instructions just to make sure.
If your car insurance policy doesn’t cover car remotes, maybe it’s time to upgrade. The Jerry app can help you find great insurance at a great rate.

Is it common for insurance companies to require a home inspection?
My insurance company is requiring a home inspection and I want to know, is this usual? My husband and I bought a new home that was built in 1923 and the insurance company is worried about lead paint. They were aware of the age of the house before we bought the policy and I don't want to be forced to make costly updates just to keep the insurance. Will every insurance company make me do the same?
