Their quote was much lower than what I was currently paying and their team was pleasant and easy to work with. I've been nothing but impressed by their people, service, and commitment in aligning their company with my business's needs. They are everything they advertise. Every chance I get, I ask people why they haven’t switched yet. Direct isn’t just a buzz word, it truly is the difference."

The creative model they brought to the table excited our decision to move coverages to Intrepid Direct mid-policy term. Their model delivered pricing that was exceedingly more competitive than traditional insurance markets without forcing our business to jeopardize coverages, deductibles or absorb insurance risk. Not having to manage various insurance companies through a brokerage firm and working with Intrepid Direct has proven successful and simplified the layout of our insurance program. In the duration of time our firm has worked with Intrepid Direct the foundation of a long-term partnership has been constructed. Both Intrepid Direct and our company are working together to achieve the same results. That cohesion of carrier/broker and client did not exist with our former insurance markets and brokerages firms. We feel as if Intrepid Direct sits on the same side of the table as their clients."

Property
|
Coverage for your building, inventory, equipment & more. What's Typically Covered Protects the structure itself, the inventory inside, your equipment and even your business income when damaged or lost after fires, tornadoes, thefts and more. The Intrepid Direct Difference! We offer franchisees the option to “blanket” their property coverage. And, while most insurance companies take whatever limit is on your current policy and copy it over to your future one, we evaluate your property limit each year by referencing your brand-specific FDD, your data, and the average property values of all brand locations across the country. This way, you don’t have to worry about being under- or over-insured. |
 |
General Liability
|
Protection for you and your business against normal and expected losses. What's Typically Covered Costs associated with property damage, bodily injury, and more if a customer, supplier, or other party makes a claim against your product or service. This also includes on-premises accidents involving customers. The Intrepid Direct Difference! If you want to go above-and-beyond your franchisor requirements, we offer extensions and add-ons. If you prefer to “up” your limit, or if your brand requires Cyber coverage for example, we can do that. |
 |
Automobile
|
Insures the vehicles your business needs in order to operate. What's Typically Covered Comprehensive, collision, and liability coverage for company-owned vehicles. The Intrepid Direct Difference! Our expert team works with you to ensure all vehicles are properly covered. |
 |
Employment Practices Liability (EPL)
|
Defends against suits related to personnel management, peer, or customer disputes. What's Typically Covered Wrongful termination, wage & hour disputes, discrimination, and sexual harassment are all covered under our EPL policy. The Intrepid Direct Difference! Many policies on the marketplace are segmented, riddled with loopholes (like attorney fees) and low limits. This policy is packaged to cover your major risks — and costs — associated with employment practices. |
 |
Hired & Non-Owned Auto
|
Insures the liability from employee-owned vehicles when used for business operations. What's Typically Covered Protects your business against claims of property damage and bodily injury caused by employees using their own autos while out for delivery. The Intrepid Direct Difference! Intrepid Direct's policy provides liability coverage for hired and non-owned vehicles, the employees operating them, and the damage they may cause should something happen when an employee is performing work duties. |
|
Workers’ Compensation
|
Takes care of your most valuable assets in the event they are injured on the job. What's Typically Covered Lost wages and medical benefits for both you and your employees due to workplace injuries and illnesses.

Umbrella
|
Works with your liability coverages to provide extra protection for large severity claims, ensuring you have adequate protection when you need it most. What's Typically Covered Think of your umbrella policy as an extension of your general and auto liability policies. It covers the same basic things but provides an additional limit in the event your needs exceed what’s covered in your “general” policies. The Intrepid Direct Difference! More often than not, customers find our umbrella rates to be lower than our competitors. Why? Because our team is underwriting your entire operation, not just one piece. Oftentimes, general liability, auto, and umbrella policies are sold separately through separate insurers. Because of this, umbrella rates are often padded to protect against unknown underwriting risk. So, with no 3rd parties in our equation, we don’t need to mark up your rate to cover the 3rd-party risk. |
