Auto Insurance for North Kansas City Drivers
Living this close to downtown means quick trips across the river bridges and easy access to I-29 and I-35 — along with plenty of city traffic. We'll set limits and deductibles that fit how you get around.
North Kansas City is its own small city — incorporated in 1912 and almost completely surrounded by Kansas City, Missouri — sitting right across the Missouri River from downtown. It mixes older homes, apartments, and a busy business district that grew out of its industrial beginnings.
Shield Squad Agency is based in Independence, and Troy Lentz works with North Kansas City homeowners, renters, and business owners — along with neighbors in Gladstone, Kansas City North, and the rest of the Northland.
People mix up North Kansas City with Kansas City, Missouri — and with Kansas City, Kansas, across the state line — all the time. We know the difference, and we're glad to help folks all over NKC.
