Sonnet Auto Insurance Reviews

I got an email stating I have to submit OAF 1 within 30 days or my insurance policy will not be renewed. I did all the paperwork with the necessary documents to send it via Canada post. When I gave them my document mail, Canada post representative said the address they hold for Sonnet is not what I wrote on the mail. I showed them the email which stated the address and Canada post representative said it’s not the correct address we have and if I have to continue with what is mentioned in the email, they are not sure of the delivery of mail. Since their database doesn’t have the address that sonnet sent me in email. It was suspicious but I ignored it thinking if it didn’t go to the right address it would return to me. I got the letter from sonnet stating they are cancelling my renewal because they didn’t receive my mail. So where did the mail go? I didn’t receive it back which means it’s delivered to the correct mailer. And sonnet said they didn’t receive my mail. Totally because I didn’t make any claim for two years? Scam company.

Without any info or email or letter, my insurance went from 279 to 717 and They don't have the customer service to talk right. All they say is go to your Portal and hit cancel if you want. And when I go to my portal it says Call to cancel. I find this to be a hoax. They are literally stealing their clients. No email or letter stating that the Economical Insurance company now owns Sonnet. So sad to see that they don't want to retain their customers.

By the time it came to my attention they had cancelled my insurance giving me 3 weeks notice and would not allow me to even pay it in full for the term, on top of that I had planned to store one of my cars for the winter and was not allowed to change my policy forcing me to pay full price for last 3 weeks.

Everything was okay until I was involved in an accident (FAULT) and I had to make a claim. No rental was provided until the claim was approved which was never. Very unprofessional and they communicate with me through email. Trust me it not worth signing up with this insurance company... I was so frustrated to the point I got tired of emailing back and forth with them. No claim was filed and now I have to pay for the cost and storage tow of my car as the lady told me. Finding every possible way to deny a claim and save money. Trust me - save your money. NEVER even think about signing up with them.

I have been insured with Sonnet for less than a year. My boyfriend and I bought a second vehicle and I went to add it and him to my policy. I added him and suddenly it popped up on the screen that my policy was being cancelled as of Oct. 26. No explanation or anything. I was freaked out so luckily customer service was still open. Apparently, they wouldn't insure him even as an occasional driver because of 1 minor 50% at-fault accident claim in 2016 and one cancellation for non-payment, which is silly. But instead of just saying - hey you can't add this driver, they try to cancel your insurance with no explanation unless you call in. Then you wait on hold for forever before anyone answers. I waited for 20 minutes and then hung up the second time I called. The customer service representative was very helpful and friendly, just the company itself I am not impressed with at all.

I was a happy sonnet customer for going on three years until I got a letter in the mail explaining that my policy would not be renewed. No claims, tickets or anything in that time. I contacted them and they claimed to have sent an email to me and I failed to respond within 30 days. I have combed through my inbox and the email simply does not exist. Their customer service "hero" whom I was on the phone with claims to have completed a forensic evaluation to say that the email was in fact delivered. They have spent more time arguing and trying to prove this email than actually providing any type of assistance and still refuse to continue my policy. I was invited by the agent to bring my concerns to the Sonnet ombudsman, but have had no luck reaching them going on two weeks after multiple calls and emails.

I have been happy with Sonnet for 3 years and all of a sudden I received a letter stating my policy will not be renewed because I did not respond to them in a timely matter. They reasoned that they sent me an email and I did not respond to them within 30 days. Thing is the last email I got from them was 2 months before they claimed to have sent this one. So, after 3 years with no claims and no missed or late payments they don't want me as a customer. I was told that I could get a new quote and reapply as a customer, but that would make my rate increase by $170/m which more than doubles my premium. I will now be taking all of my policies elsewhere.

I was with Sonnet for almost a year, while I was with them I had no new tickets/claims/accidents and they just decide to cancel me with no reason at all! I can’t believe I wasted my time with them. Sonnet is also known to give you a great low price your first year with them, and once it’s time to renew they’ll up your price without reason. Please do not waste your time with them.

Beware! Worst insurance company. I strongly dislike their service. It's been 38 days and my claim is still “under investigation”. No rental car was given to me saying that it cannot be provided until the claim is approved. Major cons: - Cancelling policies by giving inappropriate reasons. - If you call them, the average waiting time is more than an hour approximately. - The customer service representatives are very unprofessional and lack knowledge of almost everything. - Finding every possible reason to deny a claim and save money. - No linkage/communications between their departments (Adjustors/Underwriting/Customer service). You tried contacting any of them, they will come across the same answer: No status on your file yet. - Big raise in monthly instalments after having even a small claim. - Delaying the processing of claims enforcing the clients to do the required repairs on their own.

Beware, please!!! Got a quote for home and auto insurance. Saved it. Was happy as it stated well for 45 days. Went and cancelled my insurance with my older company. Was about to buy. Website crashed. Called and emailed, got an irrelevant response from the tech support 24 hours later. Went again and did quote again just to see it mysteriously increasing. Called them again and asked to provide me with the first quote that was supposed to be good for 45 days. Nope! Once you requote, you are done. I explained that I wanted the first quote and the reason why I requoted was that your website is falling apart. What kind of product do you offer to people when you do not stand behind your words? What is the point in 45 days locking price, when you cannot provide it even after 5 days? Is this the company that I would want to trust my cars and home? No! You lost me as a customer. A poor experience, poor product and unhelpful. Extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with a lack of intention to help.
