Make sure to take your blood pressure meds before you ask about another key. An you might need to fire up the backhoe and dig up another mason jar.
One of our kids lost one of our 2 keys on the 07 Chrysler SUV. It was $200 to $300 to get another fob key. A key with no fob was cheap but with all the "electric majic" it would not start the car without fob. And door would relock after 3 minutes or some such. Good luck.

If you're stuck with breaking glass, take this hint- Don't break a door window, or vent. break the windshield. knock a small hole through it on the passenger side, and reach in with a broomstick to unlock and open the door. Why? Several reasons: First, your windshield is the LEAST EXPENSIVE and EASIEST to get replaced. They're usually at your auto glass place within a DAY, and usually under $150 to replace, in 20 minutes' time... with NO door disassembly or frame repair, and substantially less glass all over. Second- the windshield is usually populated with tiny chips in the first place, so you'll get new glass where you need it the most. But before going to that extreme, though, junk an old lawnmower... cut off the sticky unusable throttle and choke cables. Cut the engine-side end off the cable, put the assembly in a vise, grab on to the core with vise-grips, and and pull the core out. Grind the core to a sharp point, and bend it into a small 'hook', so that it can be fished through the window seal. Get three plastic tree wedges from your local hardware store. Use these wedges to flex the door enough to get the 'hook' down, snag the door lock with sharp point, and pull the lock to open position. Most door latch surfaces are smooth to prevent them from being hooked and pulled, but having a sharp point that can snag and 'dig in', will allow the lock to be pulled open.

Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest.
