As you may know, this week is National Veterans Small Business Week. But, you may not know that every November Progressive Insurance has a one-day vehicle giveaway program for some lucky veterans. 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).

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.

In Plainview, auto insurance is a must, just like any other city.
It’s never a good feeling to know that you’ve been sued. If you’re sued for an auto incident, your auto insurance carrier is supposed to represent you in the legal case. What you may not know is that the insurance carrier is only responsible in relation to the limits of your policy (for instance $30,000). If the case looks like it will cost the carrier more than the amount of your policy limits, then they could write a check for that amount and just walk away. Now, you are left without a paid legal representative in court.
