Taking the spare key?

[Uther]

Random question, when on a road trip abroad would you take your spare key?
I mean, I've never lost a key but can only imagine what a ballache that would be in the middle of Europe.

Personally only bother if I've got a family member with me who can hold onto the spare, chances are if you lose one you'd probably lose both or the spare would be inside the already locked vehicle :s (EDIT: Though I guess at least you can drive it once you've got into the vehicle in that situation).

haven't done so, unless w/ family .. but maybe an airtag ? or,
just good 2-step methodology to ensure you always stow it securely, usually put front door key in poly bag then in pocket when cycling.

Yes. I usually glue it to the underside of the rear left wheel enclosure

Some cars can be unlocked with an app but not driven, so could be handly in that instance

Nope, never thought to do this ever.

Spare key sits in a drawer until it gets sold

I'd take it and leave it in the backpack that I'd leave in the accommodation.
