depends on whether you need a normal car key or a fob / alarm key.

if its just the car key then any locksmiths or woodies diy (mine cuts keys) should be able to do it, got a car key cut a few weeks ago, cost me 7 euro.

if its a fob / alarm key, then im not sure, they have to be programmed i think

what make of car is it from..?? different manufactures charge different rates.
Like copeyhagen said locksmiths can cut and some can read and copy the code onto a new key/fob...maybe cheaper than the main dealers.
