Keys locked in the trunk
If the cabin is unlocked, look for a trunk release button or lever, or fold down the rear seat to reach in. If the whole car is locked, we usually open a door first and then use the car's own trunk release or rear seat to get to your keys.

Questions
01Why not just open the trunk lock directly?
The trunk lock itself is rarely the easy way in. Opening a door and using the car's own trunk release or fold-down seat usually works better, so that's where we start.
02What if my car has no trunk release inside?
Some cars, especially ones with lockable rear seats, are harder to get into from the cabin. Tell us the make, model and year when you call so the technician knows what to expect.
