Default left car key on trunk

Guys hope someone able to help my situation.
Today my daughter left car key on trunk(lexues es 350,2008),
No spare key.
Is there any way can I open the door myself or should I call key company and pay to them to fix it?
Please if someone have experience or know about it Let me know.
Thanks

If the backseats center compartment is unlocked, you can fish it from there with a broom stick.

Isn't there a manual release you can pull by reaching through the back seat pass through. Provided that is not locked and/or the entire car is not locked as well.

Depends on if anything open or unlocked. If not, you're probably best off just having a new FOB programmed and key cut.

Looking at around $600 to do that. If the car is secured I suggest purchasing a $50 lockout kit and open the car then pull trunk release lever. Takes about 3 minutes. Alarm will sound though.

Well he needs a key, regardless, which is why I said that. You can buy a key and FOB for cheaper. Then buy a key blank alone and hide it somewhere on the chassis, that way she can use it if she does something silly like this.
