What to Do When You’re Locked Out of Your Car in Las Vegas

A car lockout can happen anywhere. Here is how to stay safe and get help.

Get somewhere safe

If you are near traffic, move to a safe place. In extreme heat, find shade or an air-conditioned building. If a child or pet is trapped in a hot vehicle, call 911 immediately.

Check your options

Check whether you have a spare key or roadside assistance through your insurance or vehicle manufacturer. Avoid forcing a window or door, which can cause damage.

Call for assistance

Have your vehicle year, make, model and location ready. Ask about pricing and arrival time, and be prepared to show proof that you are authorized to access the vehicle.
