It’s called the Keys to Progress® Program (#KeysToProgress), Giving Back to Those Who Gave So Much. Since 2013, the program has donated more than 600 vehicles to our veterans and various veteran organizations. It’s not just for cars, either. In 2018, the program awarded an Army veteran trucker with a Freightliner big rig truck (18-wheeler).

And, we’re proud to support other small business owners by helping with commercial insurance in Texas and the surrounding states. We represent insurance carriers who happily offer military discounts to active duty and veterans for various types of insurance.

You might discover that your existing insurance company does not even write policies for these types of goods, in which case you will have to check out a specialized insurance company.
No, this isn’t coverage against an ill-planned shopping spree at a certain clothing store in your local mall. In short, gap insurance protects you from owing more than your car is worth in case of a major accident or theft. If your vehicle is stolen, or totaled by an accident or natural disaster, the amount of money you receive from an insurer typically only equals your vehicle’s actual cash value at the time the incident occurs. If you have a new vehicle, this could leave you on the hook for thousands, given the amount you owe on the vehicle does not equal the current cash value.
