MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio, Oct. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — For the eighth consecutive year, Progressive Insurance will continue its annual Keys to Progress vehicle donation on November 5, 2020. In advance of Veterans Day, 45 veterans in need across the country and their families will receive the keys to vehicles that will provide reliable transportation, helping them get back on the road and move forward in life.
This year, Progressive worked with Enterprise Rent-A-Car to locate certified vehicles from Enterprise’s U.S. fleet of high-quality, late-model used cars, vans and SUVs that could be purchased and given away with funds provided by Progressive. The vehicles, with insurance paid for six months, will be delivered to veterans – replacing the physical giveaway events held previously due to safety precautions around COVID-19, and bringing the cumulative number of donated vehicles through the Keys to Progress veteran vehicle giveaway program to more than 750.
“We are thrilled to be able to continue this incredible vehicle giveaway program this year despite the challenges of COVID-19,” said Mike Sieger, Progressive Claims group president. “This has been an exceptionally hard year for so many and we are proud to honor those who have given so much and provide the relief that reliable transportation will bring to 45 of our nation’s veterans this year.”
