"Intrepid Direct offers very competitive rates and their service is simply top-notch. Our business spans two states. Intrepid Direct has handled it with ease while our last provider just couldn't. Questions are handled quickly and professionally, document requests are received within hours, and response times are better than we ever expected. We switched all of our insurance over to Intrepid Direct and are quite literally saving a bundle. Definitely a move we should have made sooner. We've recommended them to other franchisees and will continue to do so - it really is a no-brainer. You guys rock!"

"When I started going through the process of looking for insurance, I asked a well-known, well-respected franchisee for a recommendation. Without hesitation, he gave me Intrepid Direct's information. It was one of the best decisions I made for my franchise that year. I was very impressed by how easy the process was. After about 10 minutes on the phone, they had all of my information and we were done. It was completely painless. My previous insurance carrier had me doing all these crazy worksheets with about 10 pages of questions with four different companies. I now have one monthly bill instead of three, and it costs me less than before. I always appreciate the great customer service when I have a question or need something. I would enthusiastically recommend Intrepid Direct to any Papa John's franchisee or to anyone who needs insurance for their business."

We Expect Better

Since our company was founded, we have been obsessed with providing a better insurance experience. We're a partner who's always thinking about ways to help business owners minimize risk and maximize their bottom line.

From coverage to convenience, our minds are continuously thinking of our clients.

Coverage That Delivers

We took our knowledge of the restaurant industry, listened to franchisees, and reviewed Papa Johns franchisor insurance requirements to offer coverages that not only meet requirements, but best protect a franchise restaurant.
And did we mention convenience? 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 brand 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.

Partnerships That Make a Difference

We’re plugged in with the industry’s top educators, influencers, and innovators — making sure our solutions are better, faster, and smarter for franchise restaurant owners across the nation.
