Sonnet Auto Insurance Reviews

Paid for 6 years always on time got cancelled because I moved to another province and they didn't update their database, they said I'm not licenced, I've had a license since 16, I'm now 61, what a scam, moved to another company and saved 50$ a month, no payments missed, no tickets, terrible customer service.

The specialist will put you on hold just after greeting you for a long time. He keep on repeating himself without understanding the whole issue. We end up cancelling in advance. I have never make any claim and the renewal was double. Please try to see with other provider.

I made a claim for my car a while ago and customer service would always give vague answers on the progress of the claim, or they just don't give you an answer. There must be a reason why getting a policy from them was so easy; it's because they will absolutely make you pay for that later on when you have to make a claim. They will make sure to make the experience as slow and frustrating as possible.

My policy was up for renewal October 22. I received an email stating rate increase in September prior. I called sonnet on September 26th advising that I wouldn’t be renewing as increase in my policy had me shopping around. I received a better rate and insured my truck with a different company. My daughter’s car I reinsured with sonnet as it came in reasonable alone. On October 23, sonnet charged my credit card for the new policy I instructed not to initiate the month prior. When I called to rectify the situation, they recorded as if I canceled my policy on that day which was fraudulent as I instructed not to renew. Of the 715 dollars they took without permission, they refunded me 28. I was supposed to eat 687$ for one day of insurance when my vehicles were both insured elsewhere. I contacted the Better Business Bureau and reported my issue. Days later sonnet got in contact with me to resolve. I sent proof of insurance for my truck with slips for October 23 start date as well as their records of me paying first and last on my daughter’s car through them. Nothing refunded. Forcing me to dispute charges with my credit card provider. They refunded the illegitimate transaction after investigation within five days. Then I received an email from sonnet that they would be attempting to withdraw forcing me to cancel my credit card.
For sure I would say stay away.
To further my frustration. Sonnet reached out to rectify the situation requesting I contact them. Sonnet has not taken my calls and sent my fraudulent account to collections.
Recently emailed me with account renewal with chance to settle at the same time collection agency is trying to collect the old account. When I expressed concern about collection, they stopped taking my calls.
Worst customer relations ever.

The whole issue is over $64.
I got a huge renewal increase with zero changes to the car or drivers. I asked to cancel early to move to another company and was told I would get a refund of $64. Seemed reasonable with a month left.
Day after cancellation they tell me I won't be getting the $64 and BTW, I also owe another $24. I was told their agent made a mistake and they won't stand behind it.
Yes, we are arm wresting for $64. Just imagine what would happen if you "made a mistake" telling them something about coverage. They would cancel you in a heartbeat.

4 days to respond after claim, tried to decide outcome from only other party info after 6 day's (never asked for any info from me like dashcam footage, testimony of events, etc). Stuck with towing and storage fees as a result of excessive time passed due to their disgusting response time (tried to use covid as excuse, as if no other adjuster could have been given the case). Premiums keep going up with clean driving record but when something happens you get this kind of service.
BEWARE and go with anyone else but this company. I am moving my business along with family and friends I recommend a few years back with me to a company that knows their industry and treats their paying customer's better.

Never use Sonnet Insurance as your auto insurance provider per my experience. Their system makes change to your account without your consent (it is illegal). Their system automatically increase your premium amount without any notifications until you receive an email noting "the change has been made" or you log into your account. Their system removes your name from the policy without notifying you which means you won't have coverage in case of car accident due to their systems issues. If you want to cancel the policy immediately because of the mess, their agents will tell you they would use the incorrect high premium amount for calculating the cancellation fee even though they admitted it's their fault. Also, they will charge you 2 months payment in advance which is unusual with other insurance companies. I had such a BAD experience with this company. My advice is DON'T TRY.....

Do not deal with this company. Their customer service is zero. I had a terrible experience just updating my policy.

They Cancelled our insurance for something that wasn`t relevant to our policy! We called & spoke with an agent & they looked at our policy & said that they didn`t see anything wrong. They asked us to sent a drivers abstract report for each driver & they would review our policy. I spent money for the reports & sent them as I was told. I emailed 3 different times & they never responded to any of my emails. They are not a very professional insurance company to deal with!

Worst insurance company I have ever dealt with. I canceled my insurance policy over the phone with a representative two months before the renewal date. I then had to speak to another representative to cancel it. I also emailed the company twice to confirm the cancellation. Just received notice that they have sent my file to collections. For fees after cancellation. Unbelievable.
