Tried to say you don't pay a month in advance.

Don't mess with them. In the second year they increase the payments very much.
Customer service is useless. You won't be able to get a discount from them.
Try more popular insurance companies. They have better coverage and lower costs.
First year with Sonnet was great, problems come at the time of renewal. My car insurance went up $150 a month and home insurance $30. I had a minor speeding ticket, no claims and no accidents. No claims ever filed for home. The increase in premiums is outrageous and there is no explanation. They lost me as a customer in just 1 year!
I took my car to a shop I preferred and got very low interaction/communication from my adjusters. They would only follow up if I reached out to the Ombudsman. It's been over a year and they want to reveiw my file again.
This company is a waste of money!!! I been a with them for 3 years and they decided to cancel my insurance on me for no reason at all. I have NO tickets, no accidents, all my payments have been paid ON TIME. I got told right by sonnet to do a new quote for my new inquiry, i do so and half way through my quote they turn around and cancel my insurance!!!! Now i am missing work because they fooled around with my insurance. I do NOT recommend going with this company I have never heard ANYONE I know with them have positive reviews. They will literally do what ever they can to not pay our an insurance claim, people are having to take them to court in order to get their entitled claims, etc!!! This company is a complete joke. Guess thats what I get for using a “online only” company. Lesson learned!! Save your time and money and look elsewhere!
Do not deal with this company. Their customer service is zero. I had a terrible experience just updating my policy.
Everything seemed fine for the first year until it came time to renew the contract. There was nothing wrong with the file but, they provided so much trouble in the renewal process. It was a huge headache and honestly, we had to switch companies because the customer service and IT department were COMPLETELY useless (that is the nicest way to put it).
On September 15, 2021, we cancelled our renewed car auto insurance policy and the home insurance policy started date October 3, 2021.
On October 12, 2021, we have gotten two registered letters from Sonnet Insurance. Sonnet wants us to pay for renewed policies that were cancelled 18 days in advance.
We found out that Sonnet Insurance on October 3, 2021, tried an unauthorized attempt to take money from our visa card for car auto insurance policy and our home insurance policy started date October 3, 2021, those were cancelled by us on September 15, 2021. In our opinion, it is a theft attempt. We were lucky. Visa changed Visa card before that attempt.
The agents have no clue what they are doing only try to direct you to go online.
Twice now my renewal has been "frozen" and unable to be processed. Their IT team is useless which is extremely sad for an "online" insurance company.
They take no ownership for these issues... Simply just say "they are working on it"... Meanwhile, your insurance has expired and you can't drive your cars due to their error (i am not joking and/or exaggerating)
Stay away from them at all costs!
Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.
Do not insure yourself with this company, they are horrific. Customer service is a joke, they ask you to jump through all these hoops and then come up with made-up reasons to just make your life difficult. I was with them for a year, no claims, no tickets, they refused to renew me, refused to give me a reason, refused to re-write my quote. Never have I had an insurance company make it SO DIFFICULT to give them money! Went elsewhere and was treated so much better.

My policy was up for renewal and I decided to not continue with insurance after they tried to increase my car and home insurance by 20 percent each with no claims or incidents effecting my premium. Cancelled the renewal and looking online there was no payments left on the policy. Then with 4 days left in the term they decided to take one last full payment, even though I wasn't continuing with them.
