Bit of a problem, my car key has disappeared!

I've got the fob which opens the door and turns off the immobiliser but the actual key part which flips out from the fob isn't there anymore. No idea where its gone, obviously had it when I last arrived home so I assume its in the house somewhere but I've been looking for hours and can't find it.

Any idea how I get a replacement and anywhere in Cov that can help?

Don't Timpsons do that kind of thing?

Think they can do I copy but its the actual key part I'm missing so there's nothing to copy.

R.J.Parker May be able to help. They have the nack.

they don’t always need the key part. They use equipment to program new keys

The first time I got locked out of my current car (ancient model with no key in the ignition warning). I had two spare keys made.
One I keep at home and the other in my wallet.
If I'm away from home and lock myself out, I can use the one in my wallet.
And yes it has saved me a couple of times.
