🏔️ Bozeman Since 1982: Meet Dan Rust
I have been proud to serve as a State Farm Agent in Bozeman since 1982. After more than four decades in the community, one of the most rewarding parts of my work is seeing relationships continue through different stages of life and across generations.
Today, our office brings nearly 80 years of combined insurance experience to the individuals, families, and business owners we serve. In addition to my more than 40 years as a State Farm Agent, two of my three team members each bring more than 10 years of insurance experience to the office. That depth of experience has allowed us to work with multiple generations of the same families, helping customers as their vehicles, homes, households, businesses, and insurance questions change and later getting to know their children and grandchildren.
My connection to Bozeman also extends beyond the office. I am a Green Coat member of the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce, where I enjoy welcoming new businesses to the Chamber and helping them connect with the local business community. I have also previously served as President of the Bozeman Area Chamber of Commerce, giving me another opportunity to work alongside the people and organizations that contribute to the Gallatin Valley.
Our relationships extend throughout southwest Montana. From our Bozeman office, we serve customers in Belgrade, Four Corners, Manhattan, Three Forks, Big Sky, Livingston, West Yellowstone, and surrounding communities. Decades of working in this part of Montana have given our team familiarity with the different households, businesses, and lifestyles found throughout the region.
After more than 40 years in Bozeman, relationships remain at the heart of our office. Whether your family has called the Gallatin Valley home for generations, you are opening a business in the area, or you recently moved to southwest Montana, my team and I look forward to getting to know you and being a local resource as life changes.

🛡️ Insurance Options for Bozeman, Gallatin County and Beyond
Life around Bozeman and Gallatin County can include daily drives, homeownership, growing families, local businesses, and plenty of time spent outdoors. From our Bozeman office, we help individuals, families, and business owners understand coverage for the different responsibilities, milestones, and activities that are part of life in southwest Montana.
🚗 Auto Insurance
For personal vehicles used for everyday driving around Bozeman, changing work commutes, family transportation, new household drivers, and trips across Montana. Changes in who drives your vehicles, where you commute, or how your cars are used can shape the conversation.
🏡 Home Insurance
Montana homes can change long after move-in day. A recent purchase, renovation, new roof, added living space, or other significant property improvement can provide useful context when reviewing coverage for your home and belongings.
🏠 Renters Insurance
For apartments, rental homes, and other rented living spaces throughout Bozeman and Gallatin County. Whether you are moving into your first place, relocating to the area, or changing residences, we can help you understand coverage for your belongings and other needs that come with renting.
🏢 Condo Insurance
Condo ownership involves both your individual coverage and insurance maintained by the condo association. Understanding how those responsibilities differ can help clarify coverage for your unit, belongings, and other individual needs.
❤️ Life Insurance
Marriage, a growing family, homeownership, career changes, business ownership, and other milestones can shift the responsibilities you carry. We start with your household, priorities, and questions before explaining available Life Insurance choices.
🩺 Health Insurance
Health coverage can become part of the conversation as your household, work, or other circumstances change. Our team can provide information about available Health Insurance options and help make the details easier to understand.
💼 Business Insurance
Bozeman and Gallatin County are home to businesses with different operations, property, equipment, and day-to-day needs. Starting a company, expanding operations, moving locations, or making other significant changes can introduce new insurance considerations.
🚚 Commercial Auto Insurance
Company cars, work trucks, service vehicles, and other eligible business vehicles have different considerations than a personal vehicle. Coverage conversations can reflect how those vehicles are used and the role transportation plays in everyday business operations.
🐾 Pet Insurance
For dogs and cats that are part of your household, from newly welcomed pets to longtime companions. We can answer questions and provide information about available coverage for your four-legged family members.
🚤 Boat Insurance
Montana lakes and waterways offer opportunities for fishing, cruising, and days spent on the water. Boat Insurance can address considerations involving your watercraft, equipment, and certain liability needs while you enjoy boating season.
🏍️ Motorcycle Insurance
From everyday riding around the Gallatin Valley to scenic trips through southwest Montana, motorcycle use can look different from one rider to the next. We can discuss coverage with your bike, riding habits, and time on the road in mind.
🚐 RV Insurance
An RV can serve as transportation, a place to stay, and the centerpiece of a weekend or extended trip. Whether you travel between Montana campgrounds or venture well beyond the state, we can help you explore coverage for the way your motorhome or camper fits into your travels.
🛻 ATV Insurance
ATVs may be used for trail riding, recreation, property maintenance, or other activities around Montana. How and where you use your ATV can create different considerations than other recreational vehicles, and our team can explain available coverage based on your situation.
❄️ Snowmobile Insurance
Montana winter brings its own riding season, with snowmobiles heading back out as conditions allow. Before the first ride, a new sled, additional rider, equipment change, or different riding plans can provide useful reasons to revisit your Snowmobile Insurance information.
Whether you are putting down roots in Bozeman, growing your household, building a business, or spending more time exploring Montana outdoors, our team is here to listen, answer questions, and help make your available insurance options easier to understand.
🔥 Fire Prevention Month in Bozeman: Preparing Home for Colder Days
October is National Fire Prevention Month, giving households throughout Bozeman and the Gallatin Valley a timely reminder to focus on fire safety at home. With colder Montana weather approaching, this is a practical time to check a few things around the place you call home.
Consider testing smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, reviewing your household escape plan, keeping exits accessible, and checking where fire extinguishers are located. Heating equipment and other seasonal household items also deserve attention as temperatures begin to drop.
Fire safety matters whether you own, rent, or live in a condo. Homeowners who have completed significant renovations or property improvements may have new Home Insurance questions. Renters can ask about Renters Insurance for their belongings and other coverage needs, while condo owners may want to better understand how their Condo Insurance relates to insurance maintained by their association.
From Bozeman to households throughout the Gallatin Valley, preparing for colder weather is a familiar part of life in Montana. If something about the place you call home has changed, our team is here to answer questions about Home Insurance, Renters Insurance, and Condo Insurance.
❤️ Big Sky, Big Milestones: Life Insurance Through Life’s Changes
Life can change in ways both expected and unexpected. Families grow, careers evolve, homes are purchased, businesses develop, and responsibilities can look different from one stage of life to the next. At the Dan Rust State Farm Agent office in Bozeman, we help individuals and families throughout the Gallatin Valley understand Life Insurance as those responsibilities change.
When is a good time to revisit Life Insurance? Marriage, welcoming a child, purchasing a home, changing jobs, starting or growing a business, or taking on different family responsibilities can give you new things to consider. Changes in your household, income, or longer-term priorities may also lead to new questions about coverage you already have in place.
What if you are exploring Life Insurance for the first time? You do not need to know which option you want before reaching out. We can start with your household, responsibilities, and questions, then explain available Life Insurance choices in straightforward terms.
I have served as a State Farm Agent in Bozeman since 1982, giving me the opportunity to work with generations of individuals and families as their lives have changed. From people establishing roots in Bozeman to longtime Gallatin Valley households entering a new chapter, every family can be at a different stage.
Whether Life Insurance is something you are considering for the first time or you want to better understand coverage selected years ago, our team welcomes the conversation.
❄️ Before Montana Turns White: Time to Check Your Snowmobile Coverage
Snowmobiles are part of winter recreation for many Montana residents, and the months leading into winter are a natural time to think about the upcoming riding season. Whether you already own a snowmobile or recently added one, changing equipment or riding plans may bring new insurance questions.
When should you review Snowmobile Insurance? Purchasing a snowmobile, replacing an existing one, or changing how you plan to use it may be reasons to revisit your Snowmobile Insurance. We can explain available coverage options and answer questions about what you currently have in place.
Before the first real snow arrives around Bozeman and southwest Montana, consider what has changed since your last riding season. If you have a new snowmobile or questions about existing coverage, ask us about Snowmobile Insurance.
