On top of making all appropriate payments, she was personally involved in making sure we had everything we needed — a much different claims experience than we’d had in the past .”

"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."

"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."

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."
