How much is a locksmith to open a car door?
My husband locked his keys in the car. He’s freaking out because we don’t have roadside assistance and he thinks it’s going to cost a ton. How much does a locksmith charge to open a car door?

That’s the worst feeling, but don’t fret! While
roadside assistance
can help if you lock your keys in the car, you can still pay for it out of pocket for a cost anywhere between $75 and $150. The exact price depends on several factors, including:
- The make and model of your car
- Where you live
- What time of day or night you lock your keys in the car
- Whether or not you shop around
It’s wise to shop around for quotes to make sure you don’t overpay. You may also want to look online for some reviews to pick a more reputable locksmith to get your doors open again.
To put your mind at ease and save you some money in the future, you can also add
towing and labor coverage
