Safe Lease - Safe-key Security and Recovery Information

Safe Lease® Safe-key Security and Recovery From Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT
Vehicle Service Contracts for Leased Vehicles in the Greater Burlington, VT and Plattsburgh, NY Area

We have all had this happen to us before... You are coming home from a long day at the office and you are completely exhausted.  As you get off Interstate 89's Exit 19 here in St. Albans, VT after coming home from your post-workday trip to Burlington, you remember you have to grab some bread and milk for their school lunches tomorrow.  You turn around, grab the groceries you need, and head for home.  As you reach your driveway, you turn to pull into the driveway and hit some black ice, which makes you skid into your neighbors fence and break one of the pickets.  After explaining the situation to your friendly neighbor you get back into your vehicle, drive to your garage, and park it.  You think to yourself how could this day get any worse?

And then you realize exactly how this could happen...  You forgot your keys back in Burlington.

As I said, we have all been here.  When this sort of thing happens with a house key it may be a couple of dollars and some minor aggravation to get a replacement and more than likely someone else from your family will be able to let you into your house, but with an expensive personal item like a Toyota car key the chances of someone having a spare key, well, obviously not that likely.  Not only is it extremely aggravating but it can be extremely costly due to today's "high tech" keys.  A replacement set of a laser-cut keys can cost literally hundreds of dollars or more, and even a basic sedan like a Toyota Corolla in today's world comes with a microchip/key fob combination that makes only the correct key able to start the car.  With features like these electronic chips, remote ignitions, and so forth, today's keys are just simply more costly to produce and thus to replace.

Smart Lease®'s Safe-Key Recovery and Security protection plan helps to keep you out of these sticky situations.  With a 24-hour comprehensive emergency assistance for you and your family, losing a key and being stuck wherever will not occur, and at the right distance from home - 30 miles, 100 miles, 4,000 miles? - that is utterly priceless.

Take a look below at some of the features you will be treated to when you purchase a Safe Lease® Smart-Key Recovery and Security contract through Safe Guard® and Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT, then give us a call at 888-352-5749 to get more information or send us an email to set up an appointment with the finance advisor.  You can also just drop in to see us at our St. Albans Toyota dealership located at 39 South Main Street.

More about the Safe Guard® Smart-key Recovery and Security System
Available on Toyota vehicle leases at Handy Toyota of St. Albans, VT

The Smart Lease® Smart-Key Recovery and Security contract available for a new Toyota lease has several important features that keep you and your family safely on the road by (a) not getting trapped outside your car and (b) by not needing to purchase expensive replacement keys.

Here are some of the reasons we have heard from previous customers have told us they love the Smart Lease® Smart-key Recovery and Security program include:

  1. Safe Key is there when you need it
    • In case your keys are misplaced
    • If the key's transponder or internal components are damaged and will not work
    • If your keys are locked inside your vehicle
  2. The Smart Lease® Safe Key contract provides immediate assistance when you need it
    • When you need help unlocking your vehicle
    • For replacing your keys or transponder
    • Reprogramming your keys as needed
  3. The Safe-Key contract's services go beyond your new Toyota vehicle
    • 24-hour home lock-out assistance
    • Replacement of any key on your Safe-Key tagged key ring
    • Emergency message relay to up to three emergency contacts
    • Retrieval and reward system that motivates a person who finds your lost keys to actually return them

Finally, the Smart Lease® Smart-Key Recovery and Security program also offers the Driver's Valet Assistance Program.  Since many new Toyota vehicles have keys that need to be reprogrammed by a Toyota dealer, it can prove difficult to make replacement keys at the specific time and/or location of an incident; for example, imagine you have lost your keys at midnight and the nearest Toyota dealership is 200 miles away!  Holders of a Safe-Key contract with the Driver's Valet Assistance Program, designed to help every step of the way, towing, taxi assistance, and rental vehicles can be reimbursed while the issue is resolved.  As an added bonus, customers with Smart-Key contracts receive discounts from national car rental agencies year-round!

Before you purchase your new Toyota car, truck, or SUV or a pre-owned vehicle, make sure to ask your sales consultant about the Smart-Key Safe Lease® program - before you need it!  Fill out the contact form below, send us an email, or call us at 888-352-5749 today.

Vehicle Lease FAQs

After viewing our monthly lease specials, learning about leasing a Toyota, and viewing the Safe Lease® information to the right are you still not sure whether you want to lease a Toyota from Handy Toyota in St. Albans, VT?  Take a look at these frequently asked questions regarding leases for additional information.  For other FAQ topics, check out our Frequently Asked Questions page.

Q:  Why should I lease a Toyota in VT?  I heard it was a rip-off!
A:  In the "old days" you might have been right.  Leasing has gained a bad connotation from the previous generation's antics in the automotive industry, whereby you would essentially be "renting a car long term." and you would never really own it.  In today's auto industry, there are actually full laws in place that keep you from, as stated above, getting "ripped off," such as setting a residual price at the beginning.  Short of damages, nothing can change this end value, meaning when you sign the paperwork you know exactly what your car will be worth after the lease term!

Q:  In the end, what's the difference between buying and leasing a Toyota?
A:  In short, not a whole lot.  Many of our previous customers have found that after their lease term ends if they purchase the car it comes out to be around the same cost as if they had financed it outright.

Q:  But what if a better car comes out during my lease?
A:  This is one of the best reasons to lease a Toyota in St. Albans!  At the rate today's automotive industry churns out technology, who knows what the 2015 Prius will get for fuel economy?  After three years you can trade in your currently leased Toyota for the newest technology and best efficiency; if you had financed you would still have two years left... before the car was even yours!

Q:  Say I get extra Safe Lease® coverage, what if something breaks?
A:  A majority of our Toyota leases at Handy Toyota are three years at 12,000 miles a year.  Within this standard timeframe/mileage allowance, your new Toyota vehicle is covered under the normal factory warranty!

Q:  Alright, leasing sounds pretty good.  But I drive more than 12,000 miles a year!
A:  Though it is true that we factor in the 3-year/36,000-mile lease term into many lease-related panels such as this, that doesn't mean more mileage cannot be added.  For details, come into Handy Toyota's 39 South Main Street location in St. Albans, VT and talk to finance manager Sam Farrar, call him at 888-352-5749, or shoot Sam an email today.
