About Trent Johnson | Local State Farm Insurance Agent (West Lafayette, IN)

Hi—I'm Trent Johnson, a State Farm Insurance Agent based in West Lafayette, Indiana. I’ve been part of the State Farm family since 1990 and have proudly served as an agent since 1996. I’m a Lafayette native, graduated from Harrison High School, and earned my degree from Purdue University (1988).

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping neighbors across the Greater Lafayette area—including Battle Ground, Dayton, Montmorenci, Mulberry, Otterbein, Rossville, Shadeland, Brookston, Fowler, Boswell, and West Point—navigate everyday risks and recover from life’s unexpected moments.

A lifetime of local roots + community service

I believe strong coverage starts with strong relationships. When I’m not helping families, you’ll often find me involved in the community. I’m an Eagle Scout, an active member of the Greater Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, and I serve as an official for IHSAA baseball, basketball, and football.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

Q: How do I get car insurance quotes?

A: Getting car insurance quotes is simple—you can start online, over the phone, or by working with a local agent. Quotes are typically based on factors like your vehicle, driving history, and coverage preferences, helping you explore options that fit your needs. Trent is proud to serve the West Lafayette community.

Q: How fast can I get car insurance?

A: In some cases, car insurance coverage can begin the same day you purchase a policy. The timing may vary depending on your situation. We can help you get coverage quickly when you need it. Serving West Lafayette and the surrounding area, Trent can help answer your questions.

Q: What kind of insurance do I need for a leased vehicle?

A: If you're leasing a vehicle, the requirements are usually a bit higher than standard coverage. In most cases, you'll need liability, comprehensive, and collision coverage, and the leasing company may need to be listed on your policy. We're always happy to walk you through exactly what's needed. Trent serves West Lafayette, IN and is happy to help with your insurance needs.

Q: What exactly is renters insurance and how does it work?

A: Renters insurance is a simple way to help protect your personal belongings and provide liability coverage while you're renting. Since your landlord's policy typically covers the building itself, this type of coverage is designed to help protect you and the things you own. Have questions? Trent in West Lafayette can walk you through your options.

Q: Do you need to carry insurance on your home?

A: Whether homeowners insurance is required depends on your situation and may vary by state. If you have home financing, your lender will likely require it. Even if it's not required, many people choose to have coverage to help protect their home and everything that comes with it. Trent works with West Lafayette residents to find coverage that fits.

Q: How does life insurance work?

A: Life insurance provides a payout to your chosen beneficiaries if you pass away while the policy is active. It can help give your loved ones financial support when they may need it most. Connect with Trent for insurance guidance in West Lafayette.
