Sonnet Auto Insurance Reviews

I’m now going on over 4 weeks since the accident and the process is taking forever. I can’t ever get into contact with anyone. My agent now just went on vacation for the second time, so now I have to wait 5 days before I can get any answer. When I asked to speak to a supervisor, they said they’ll call me back, it’s been two days and haven’t heard anything. I’m so frustrated with this company it’s very unorganized, and I’ll be switching company’s once this claim is done/ if that ever happens.

So we started with Sonnet back in 2022. We thought things were going well. In August 2023 we had a no-fault collision. It took over 2 weeks to submit our claim, and then we ended up having to tow the car to the shop ourselves. We had a rental car and the work took additional time, so we were left without a car. Then, our adjuster was let go, and so it took 4 months to get our $500 back. Now 1 year later and I receive an email stating that our policy was cancelled. After calling, I found out that they think one of our licenses expired. And the person on the phone said, “we should have sent you notification earlier”. Still haven’t heard back from the underwriting team, and now we have no insurance, and we are supposed to leave on a road trip…

My truck was stolen March 1st. It’s now April 25th and I still haven’t received any settlement. They’re saying it’s because the truck was found, which restarts the whole process. I gave them all the information regarding that on March 21st. April 12th no one picked up the truck or went to look at it. I still haven’t received any settlement from them. Even when calling the adjuster and leaving voicemails saying “please call me back” I get emails saying “sorry I missed your call”. Timelines they give are not accurate and you’re lucky to get the response of “I’ll keep you posted as soon as we can move forward”. I’ve had to take a loan to purchase another vehicle since their claim is taking so long, leaving me with interest I shouldn’t be dealing with.

Their rates are great. But if you have a claim, at least in my case, their rates reflect the service.

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.

After making a claim in June, it was ignored. I emailed multiple times asking for updates and asking what took so long, but they never replied. I sold my car in August and attempted to cancel insurance on August 8th. An adjuster was sent out to look at my car on the 15th! I told them I canceled and I wasn’t happy with paying $500 a month and having a claim ignored. They took my money again on August 24th even though I canceled! Impossible to talk to a human and their phone system is designed to make you hang up. If you do get an adjuster, they hang up on you! The company doesn’t provide services you pay too much money for!!!

Sure the initial online policy sign-up process is easy - but that's the only value you get from Sonnet / Economical, as they are the same company. They are severely understaffed in the back office and our claim processing was offloaded to a third-party agency. We are 4 MONTHS into our car repairs saga after car theft, being bounced from 3rd party to 3rd party, given the wrong status and timelines on repairs, having to get to the body shop ourselves to take pictures to show to our adjuster, etc. We should get our car back in 3 weeks, after having had to manage the entire process on behalf of our Insurance provider. 5 MONTHS to get your vehicle back... Dealing with a claim at Sonnet is a nightmare - AVOID AT ALL COST

I had a claim. They would not answer. I keep calling over and over again and got ahold of someone and told them they had that day to get me my rental or I would not be paying the month of my insurance. I got my rental then took forever to hear back from my adjuster which I did and said the same thing. I want to know what is going on with my car? How much you are paying me by the end of the week or once again I will not give you guy money for insurance and I will pay to make sure nothing bounces from my bank account.

If I could give Sonnet below 1 star I would! They are absolutely terrible. They are scammers! They just take your monthly premium... It took 9 months to fix my car! They never call you... They don't even respond to emails. The worst experience I have ever had and their rates are not good!

At first, I signed up with Sonnet because of their competitive prices. But don't be a fool like me, they take the money but then when it's time to give you the service for a reclamation they are not there. I made a reclamation on December 29th. I am writing this review on February 15th, I had a total car loss and haven't yet received any news on what they are gonna pay me and what are the options. We're close to the 60 days law now and I'll have to deal with the AMF for further actions. Tried to call Sonnet, tried to send them a complaint but I don't have a callback or an email reply. Save yourself some peace of mind and pay a little more with another 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 at all.
