Key Larger

My wife bought a 2000W Clio that came with two keys. One starts the car ok + locks via remote, no problem. The other locks via remote but will not start it the engine. It appears that the 2nd key is not programmed. The local Renault dealer says we need a new key and the new key needs programmed for £160 in total. Are you aware if this is correct or is it a rip off and keys can be obtained cheaper elsewhere?
