Gardner, Kansas
Insurance in Gardner, Kansas, Where the Trails Divide
Gardner was founded in 1857 by Free-State settlers, many of them from Massachusetts, and named for that state's governor. Just west of town is where wagon trains split, with the Santa Fe Trail heading southwest and the Oregon and California Trails turning north. Today it's a growing community in southwest Johnson County with plenty of new homes and wide-open country around it.
Troy Lentz at Shield Squad Agency works with Gardner families from Independence, where many of those same wagon trains started out, and with neighbors in Olathe and De Soto.

Insurance Considerations for Gardner
What we'd keep in mind for a home, car, or business in Gardner.
- I-35 and Truck Traffic
- Commuting next to heavy trucks makes solid liability limits and collision coverage worth reviewing. Rental reimbursement can help after a crash.
- New Construction
- If your home is new, make sure your coverage includes the upgrades you picked and anything you've added since moving in.
- Acreages and Outbuildings
- Barns, sheds, and shops on bigger lots each count toward your other-structures limit. Make sure it's high enough.
- Open-Prairie Storms
- With fewer trees and buildings to slow it down, wind and hail can hit hard. Check your roof's age and how your storm deductible works.
- Kansas Auto Rules
- Kansas requires personal injury protection and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We'll explain what each pays for.

I drive I-35 to work every day. What should I review?

Auto insurance basicsWe have a few acres and a pole barn. Is it covered?
Detached buildings usually fall under other-structures coverage, up to a limit. If the barn is large or used for farming or business, it may need different coverage.

Not necessarily. Your dwelling limit should reflect what it would cost to rebuild today, which can differ from the purchase price. We'll help you check.
