Cheapest price for extra Valet Key?

[kmaluo]

My local Ford dealership wants $35 for the valet key and $25 to laser cut it. Any cheaper options out there?

What do you use the valet key for? What is its function in the car? Doesn't the car require a key fob to drive? There is a valet mode on the MFT screen that you can set for when letting a valet drive.

I use it to go surfing. I store the real key in a combination lock box inside the vehicle.

Could you just take the physical key out of the fob for those situations?

Yeah, that's the one I'm looking for. The parts guy called it a Valet key.

Why do you need another one? Why not just take that key out of the fob to go surfing?

I'm guessing he lost it--probably while surfing

I've been considering buying the keyless entry keypad for $85 to use when I go for runs. Just can't figure out where to put it that it doesn't look cheesy.

Correct! And since the car is leased, I'm going to need both Valet keys when I turn the car in.
