"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."

"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."
