I do not recommend this company

The worst experience I have ever had in car insurance. I had to call 5 times for a claim and after 20 days my car is still not repaired. Definitely, I do not recommend this company.

Stay away!

After a serious car accident when I was travelling with my vehicle at the cottage, they have not responded to a report nor sent an evaluator.
This is normally done within 48 hours.
I'm left to go home on my own, without a vehicle and without a courtesy vehicle.
Agents are useless because they can't open your file (outsourced I guess).
It may be simple and easy to get insured and take your money, but they have zero customer service when it counts.

I've been waiting for over a month and still have not gotten an answer.They do not take responsibility or cover anything. And you wait and wait

Their claims side is a joke!

I was in an accident over a week and a half ago. I've had to refile my damage to property claim twice and my accident injury benefits twice. I have yet to hear from any adjuster to this day and keep getting the same excuses and "resolution" which is escalating the claim to get an adjuster assigned quicker. Do yourself a favour and go elsewhere... This has been a nightmare, I'm without medical to this day and the accident isn't even my fault. I am at home in pain daily and Sonnet could care less. A total joke and a terrible experience!

Horrific

If you have all day and nothing to do but pay for your vehicle to sit in a tow yard they get a 5-star review it has been 5 days since my accident and have not heard from anyone... seems everyone that works there is sorry and understands hmm funny as I keep getting the run around I to suggest paying the extra money for insurance and go with an insurance company that answers their calls or has someone reply they are not concerned about this matter and was transferred after being asked for my information for the *lost count* of times... get me in the proper department and let's deal with someone who can have this sorted in 10 minutes... I took care of the hard work... towing at my expense though it is supposed to be covered as stated in my policy...

Terrible

These people are lazy and should not even work with wages. These people are a joke. First I have filed a claim and after three months of patiently waiting. I still have no response even after getting back to the adjuster that was on my case. I called and emailed, no response! So I decided to cancel my policy after a year, after that I got charge again for a new year term which I was not expecting because I turnoff auto re-new. The website is terrible, customer service and people who work here are terrible. We should start a class action suit.

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.

Worst company

Sonnet which is owned by Economical Insurance is one of the worst insurance companies by far. I got into a collision in November 2019, where I knew my car was written off, contacted them right away. At first, they were responding to the claim, assured me I would get a rental and the claim would be dealt with. The best day they took my car to their free storage so the cost wouldn’t be incurred. Weeks went by and then suddenly my case was transferred over to an investigator. Still had no rental, unsure where exactly my car was, my car was financed so the bills are accumulating. After we continued to email the claims investigator she stopped responding. I then had to hire a lawyer because I felt I was being poorly treated. Not only did I pay for my insurance, I had never missed a payment and I hadn’t got a rental nor did I know where my car was. Fast forward to almost a year later, with COVID and my lawyer fighting for me, we were able to get a rental and full settlement. It shouldn’t of took sonnet 11 months to settle my claim. If I didn’t have help I would of fell behind on my car payments during that 11 months and sonnet would’ve tried to not pay my claim. No one should go through the stress I went through. Don’t go!

Worst experience ever

Everything was going great tell I made a claim 10 months into my first year with Sonnet. My car got hit while it was parked so it wasn’t my fault. Cops came took a statement. I did everything I was supposed to do. It is March 28, 2020, I made my claim Nov 21, 2019, and I still never heard from Sonnet after many attempts to contact them. Every time I call the claims team they tell me they don’t have my file and give me an email of who does. This guy never gets back to me. I ended up paying for an accident out of my pocket. To top it off my year contract ended Feb 15 my last payment was Jan 15. On March 15, 2020, Sonnet tried to take 186 dollars from my account. I thought this was some kind of error but it wasn’t. I called them and asked why they were taking money from my account. They said it’s for your policy I said my policy was up on Feb. They said they just renew it if you don’t call and tell them. I said - "So, you guys renew policies without asking the customer?" They said they sent me an email that they didn’t send. Then later said they called me. My policy was 120 a month so I guess because I made the claim (that they won’t get back to me about or pay) the put my insurance up to 186. Long story short I would stay far away from this company. The low rate and easy sign is the only thing good about them. When it comes time to interact with them you will have problems. Oh, and when I talked to a supervisor about their cancelling my policy they said we still have to charge you for the days we insured you. What a joke I agreed to a year nothing more. I wasn’t happy and I didn’t renew. They renewed for me and overcharged me then charged me for days they insured me smh. I never even knew I had insurance with them till they took money out of my account. If I where you, I would stay far away.
