The "fob" is a high-tech lifeline—controlling entry, starting the engine, and linking to your vehicle's diagnostics—forcing a lockout means towing fees ($100–$200) and days without your car. Replacing it disrupts your routine far more than expected. This plan restores access instantly, preserving the seamless Mercedes experience and avoiding downtime that could cost you in rentals or lost productivity.

It's a small step that keeps your entire ownership effortless.

We understand; budgets are tight with a new Mercedes purchase. At around $600–$680 (financed into your payments for as little as $15–$20 monthly), it might seem minor, but replacing a single smart key with its advanced sensors and programming can exceed $1,300, including towing and locksmith fees.

This plan eliminates that surprise, covering unlimited claims over 7 years with no deductible, so it's often a one-time safeguard that pays for itself the first time you need it—protecting your peace of mind without breaking the bank.

The factory warranty is outstanding for defects, covering up to 4 years/50,000 miles, but it doesn't extend to loss, theft, or accidental damage like dropping your key in water or leaving it in a stolen bag.

Our plan bridges that gap with 7-year coverage for those real-world scenarios, including programming and remote duplication, ensuring you're never stranded. It's a complementary layer that keeps your advanced key system operational without voiding any manufacturer protections.

That's a valid assumption, however many policies exclude or limit key coverage, often with high deductibles ($250+) and requirements for police reports that complicate claims. First Class Key Protection acts as your primary coverage specifically for Mercedes-Benz keys, handling full replacement at authorized dealers, 24/7 lockout assistance, and even home entry reimbursement—without affecting your insurance rates or involving adjusters.

It's tailored for our vehicles' unique tech, making recovery faster and less stressful.

Spare keys help, but programming a full duplicate requires dealer expertise and can still cost $300+, and third-party plans often use generic remotes that don't sync with Mercedes' security systems—potentially voiding warranties.

Our First Class plan uses authentic OEM parts with seamless dealer integration, 24/7 dispatch, and no-claim hoops, all for a competitive price. Our clients rave about the convenience, especially compared to navigating incompatible aftermarket options.

There's absolutely no deductible for key replacements or lockout services, and coverage is unlimited for covered events over the 7-year term. It even reimburses up to $250 per occurrence for spare non-programmable keys on your ring, with no cap on roadside assists.

Exclusions like manufacturer recalls are clearly outlined, but for everyday losses or damages, it's comprehensive and hassle-free, administered through trusted partners like SafeRide for quick resolutions.

It's focused on the most common key threats—loss, theft, damage, and lockouts—to keep costs affordable, but it includes robust support like full OEM replacement, ignition programming, and 24/7 emergency entry anywhere, plus home lockout reimbursement (with proof of residence). While it excludes things like wear from normal use, it pairs seamlessly with your vehicle's warranty for defects.

For Mercedes owners, this targeted approach covers 95% of key incidents without unnecessary extras.

The plan runs for up to 7 years from purchase, with no mileage limits, aligning perfectly with your ownership timeline. It's activated at delivery and available only then, so adding it now ensures long-term security as your key ages and risks like battery failure or wear increase.

The warranty is backed by Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, guaranteeing reliable support throughout.

Even the most careful drivers face unexpected moments, like a valet mix-up, a purse snatch, or a key tumbling into a storm drain during a rain-soaked errand. With modern Mercedes keys holding irreplaceable data and security features, one mishap can sideline you for days. This protection provides 24/7 roadside dispatch for immediate entry and replacement, so you avoid the hassle of after-hours locksmiths or rental cars.

It's about eliminating that rare-but-devastating "what if" for uninterrupted luxury driving.

Yes—it's fully transferable to a private buyer for just a $40 fee, which can increase your resale value by $200–$400 as it signals proactive care. Available on new, certified pre-owned, and pre-owned models, the coverage follows the vehicle for the full term.

Many customers who upgrade early still benefit from lockout services in the interim, and retailers like us often factor it into higher trade-in offers.
