Customer Reviews & Testimonials

Intrepid is a very user friendly company; their online claims submission is extremely useful, and the adjusters are easy to communicate with.

"Shout out to Intrepid Direct Insurance! After I received a substantial increase on my property/liability/auto/work comp, etc. renewal, Intrepid was able to accommodate my quote request which required very little work on my end. Furthermore, they were able to provide 26% in savings using their direct to franchisee model, as Intrepid is the insurance carrier, not a broker. Their service team was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Intrepid works with franchisee groups so they’re very familiar with our Jimmy John’s insurance requirements. If any operators out there are looking to save on insurance costs with a partner that has great service, my experience with Intrepid Direct has been excellent."

"Working with Intrepid Insurance has been a wonderful change. It starts with the easy online quoting process, and ends with their top level customer service. I enjoy only dealing with one company for all of my coverages, and only having one payment each month. Best of all, I am saving money as well!"

"We recently started using Intrepid for our Papa John's Pizza franchise locations. So when looking for coverage for our new Huey Magoo's franchise, we naturally contacted them. Lisa and her team make getting insurance so easy! From quoting to binding her team is responsive and so helpful. They even think of things that previous carriers have forgotten about! We love Intrepid and highly recommend them!

"We recently switched to Intrepid Direct. We were skeptical about going outside the local agents we had been with for years, so we reached out to a few Pizza Hut franchisees we know were Intrepid clients. They all had good things to say. Our transition was smooth. We've experienced great communication and the price was right for us. And while we've been lucky to only have a few claims so far, the entire Intrepid Direct team has been awesome to work with. So far, so good. So keep it up!"

"Alex and Melissa have been great to work with during the proposal and early roll out stage for our companies. Both have a good understanding of franchise business model and appear to be flexible in how we work together. I am looking forward to becoming familiar with Intrepid’s systems and tools for our business."

"I would (and have) recommended Intrepid Direct to fellow business owners. They have been an invaluable business partner from day one by securing coverage at an industry-best premium. Their claims department has been amazingly responsive. On top of that, they have the funding to actually take care of my team members throughout the rebuild of a restaurant after a flood."

"Intrepid Direct has provided clear and timely communication with all aspects of claims handling and risk management. It's nice to have a partner that understands our needs in risk avoidance and claims resolution."

"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 had a great service. We got answers without any delays. Lisa, excellent job."

"I met with Intrepid Direct at a business conference. They were very familiar with my Quick Lube business and were able to evaluate my needs and get me a great rate. I have better coverage than I have had with previous companies for less money. They have always been good to communicate with me about my insurance needs. They keep me up to date about changes that could affect my policy so there are not any surprises. When we've had to get them involved, they were great to work with and handled the situation very well. They took care of us and our customer so that everyone was happy. Over the years I have been in business, I have had several other insurance companies and I can say that Intrepid Direct is one of the best I have worked with."

"Intrepid Direct has been a real asset to our quick lube businesses. They deliver a very cost-effective product and coverage for all of our commercial needs with good payment plans. Our insurance costs dropped over 25% year-over-year. The customer service, in every instance, has been excellent. I've found that they give good, common sense advice on claim situations. The Intrepid adjusters actually investigate and don't automatically pay those questionable third party claims."

"The service I have received so far has been exceptionally professional and head and shoulders above any other insurer with whom I have worked. I cannot recommend this company strongly enough."

"We had a solid, 10-year working relationship with our broker. Getting a quote from others always resulted in a lot of effort from our team. So we eventually figured if it wasn't broke, don't fix it. This was our thought process until a trusted dealer recommended we talk with Intrepid Direct. Their ability to bypass the broker's expenses brought our total insurance cost down almost 20% plus we received better coverage that fit our actual needs. Communication has been easy and the claims management process has been excellent. Where most insurance companies would just write a check, Intrepid Direct has disputed our liability and performed professional investigations resulting in the denial of claims against us. Unless your current broker is your brother-law with damaging photos from your bachelor party…or you love the Christmas fruit cake, your time is well-spent getting a quote from Intrepid Direct."

"For years I convinced myself we would keep our insurance with a local broker - until I realized the best decision for our organization was to switch. Intrepid Direct provided solutions that not only provided more coverage for our family, employees, and company, but also packaged the entire deal with significant savings for our business for this year."

"Intrepid Direct explained things in simple terms. I now have replacement cost insurance I never had, added cyber insurance and pollution liability… all that on top of 15% savings."

"Intrepid Direct has been a really great experience for us. They've saved us $9K and have provided superb service. Our contact has been "Johnny-on-it." They caught things on our old policy we needed to bolster and pointed out other areas we could flat out eliminate."

"Exceptional value and service. They saved me time and money. True collision experts."

"As a first-time Orangetheory Fitness Franchisee, Intrepid made the process simple. They were very responsive, knowledgeable and ensured I was taken care of. If you're looking for a trusted partner, I would highly recommend Intrepid Direct."

"Their vertically integrated approach to underwriting, policy administration, and claims processing solved the pain we'd been feeling with our broker. It's no surprise -- their integration has led to efficiencies we'd never experienced until now."

“My experience with Intrepid Direct has been efficient, easy, and seamless from start-to-finish. Their follow up and customer service is fantastic, always answering questions within 24 hours or less. Insurance is usually tedious, intimidating, and cumbersome. But not with Intrepid Direct. The experience has been great, and they even saved me money compared to my previous policy. It’s been a win-win-win.”
