I've used both a slimjim and a coathanger....you have a hook on the end going into the door to either push or pull the rod connecting the handle to the lock assembly.....

I'll assume you meant without. I don't think a locksmith service would do anything for you, anyway. A roadside assistance company would, though. But if you don't want to call anyone, try a paperclip.. depending on the type of lock, it may or may not work. Just bend one side straight and try wiggling it around inside. Some locks just have a pushbutton, so anything that fits inside and has enough strength to push a piece of metal can unlock it. Others actually require the lock to turn.

call your s/o and tell them to bring the spare. if not call a towing company i locked myself out with the car running called them and they had me in my car and on my way to work in 25 min and only $45 later it took him 1 minute to break in i tried myself for 15 mins and scratched the paint at the top of the door so from now on i leave it to the professionals unless it's a old car and easy to break in

2 other ways I know of, break a small window that lets you reach the door latch, maybe the passangers side or call the local police using the non emergency number and see if they can help.

Most newer cars today it is quite difficult to open a locked car door. some cannot be opened by the front doors and have to go through the back doors. If you don't know what you are doing you can do a lot of damage before you get the door open.
