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."

"Utilizing Intrepid Direct significantly enhanced our insurance platform, our business financials, and streamlined the process to drive down loss exposure. 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."

Complete, Customizable Restaurant Insurance Coverage

We took our knowledge of the restaurant industry, listened to franchisees, and reviewed franchisor insurance requirements to offer coverages that not only meet requirements but best protect a franchise restaurant.
And did we mention convenient? Our bundled approach to coverage speeds up quoting, minimizes paperwork, and maximizes the response when you need us most.

We start with the coverage your franchisor requires. Then, we work with you and your data to serve up one simple, yet specific, reliable, and affordable plan.

blank
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Intrepid Direct Difference!

It’s not only our responsibility to insure your business, but to help you manage the costs of doing so. We offer telemedicine services through MedCall Advisors – a 24/7 hotline that can triage incidents, perform post-injury drug screenings, can prescribe medication, and will file the first notice of loss documentation on your behalf.

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.

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.
