Might be out of battery. Is there any other store close by? Target, Walmart? Might be able to pick up a batter. I got mine at home depot the other week. Very easy to change

Did you try putting the key next to the start button.

Why don't you take the actual key that is attached to the remote fob and unlock your car and then put the remote fob at the start button and it should start.

I had this same problem a couple times it ended up being a particular parking spot by this building. I think there must be some kind of wireless signals that throws off the key/car communication. I thought the same thing, change the battery. So I changed the battery and wouldn't you know it I parked in that same area...and same thing happened. I had to just keep putting the key near the start button eventually it worked.
