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

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.

Agent quoted a refund during chat for cancellation. Sonnet won't honour their mistake.

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.

Charges after cancelling insurance

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.

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.

I had lapses in my license and in my other insurance companies previous and money problems with my bank. After no other insurance company would take me. I went online and saw they would give me a policy and although PayPal is poor and kinda tricky. Sonnet itself was a dream. And even when my car broke down. They gave me the tiny cancellation fee and nulled the policy and never heard anything else from them except for the happy birthday email they sent. LOL. They were a dream for me without talking to a single soul. Alberta buyer.

Cancellation fee (fraud)

by Prince on Oct 21, 2022

One of the most unethical and unprofessional companies I’ve come across. In the name of a cancellation fee, they’re deducting 2 months' premium from my account. All the customer service representatives have come up with different stories and no resolution. Fraud organization. Not going to talk forget recommending someone about the Sonnet.

Worst insurance ever

by Mergim on Mar 22, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

Wait until you cancel it. I was paying $118 per month on my car insurance and when I cancelled it I got another charge of $420. I spoke to one of the agents and they never explained to me full details of this charge other than the system generating the contract cancellation fees. If I would rate them I would give them -5. DON'T EVER GO WITH THEM

Same price to park the vehicle as regular insurance. Not worth. Cancelled it just before one month still they charged me the full cancellation fee plus one extra month. Total 537$ for nothing. My record is clear and I had 6 years of experience. Still, crazy price got way cheaper insurance now.
Stay away guys no one is here to help you. They making money nothing else...

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.
