Solutions for losing car keys in another city: 1. Contact a 4S store to make a new key: When you're away from home, you can visit a 4S store to have a new key made; the cost varies depending on the car model. 2. Hire a locksmith: You can choose to call a locksmith to unlock your car. However, it's crucial to verify whether the locksmith company has the necessary qualifications, is registered with the public security department, and holds training certificates. Also, ask the technician to show their work permit to confirm their professional credentials. 3. Remote unlocking: Owners can call the OnStar customer service hotline. After verifying the vehicle's accurate information, the car can be unlocked remotely to open the door. 4. Break the car window: If your car isn't equipped with OnStar and you're in a hurry, you may opt to break a window. However, there are certain considerations when breaking a window—it shouldn't be done randomly. It's generally best to choose the small triangular rear window glass, as it's usually less expensive and won't cause much inconvenience while driving. Note that you should use a safety hammer or professional tools to break the glass to avoid injuring yourself.
