The Keys to Progress® vehicle giveaway program  -- Progressive Insurance  (< -- Link)

Providing independence to those who protect it

Since 2013, our annual event has focused on honoring veterans and their families. The program is a strong source of pride for everyone involved.

With more than a decade of giveaways, our Keys to Progress program has supported more than 1,100 veteran recipients from 5 branches of the military.

Event locations

Vehicle giveaways primarily take place at various Progressive offices and Enterprise Rent-A-Car locations across the United States. The Keys to Progress veteran vehicle giveaway program distributes vehicles once a year, typically in November (with the exception of the fall truck giveaway).

Program affiliates

We work with military and charity organizations to find veterans in need of a vehicle and purchase recent-model used vehicles from Enterprise Rent-A-Car to give away. We also work closely with these organizations to administer this program every year:

Application information

Applications will be accepted from 8:00 AM (local standard time) on Friday, April 4, 2025, to 11:59 PM (local standard time) on Friday, August 1, 2025.

The Keys to Progress veteran vehicle giveaway program provides support to those in need in the following areas:

  1. Personal transportation support: Our hope is to offer a little relief and improve the lives of military men and women facing tough personal circumstances for which a vehicle may help—from finding employment or transporting children to and from school to getting to medical appointments or visiting loved ones.

  1. Commercial vehicle needs: Through this program we have also gifted vehicles to help veteran-focused organizations and non-profits, as well as veteran-owned small businesses.

  1. Class 8 truck operator giveaway: Since 2018, we have periodically gifted a Class 8 semi-truck through this program, as well. Three deserving veterans so far have received Class 8 vehicles to help them start their own trucking operations.

    We will not be hosting a Class 8 truck giveaway in 2025.
