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!
I’ve been with them almost 3 years they said they sent a renewal form through email but I can’t find it in there and I haven’t had to do one before with them. I get a letter in the mail saying my policy is cancelled cause I didn’t fill out a form I didn’t know I had in my email...When I called it took 45 min to speak to someone and she basically said too bad nothing she can do go find a new company... That’s how someone who never misses a payment and never had a claim gets treated... Just disgusting!
Did you know that on average Ontario drivers with good driving records pay $1,805/year in auto insurance? Is your insurance rate higher? Get a free car insurance quote and start saving today.
I received notice my policy would be cancelled August 2nd as a result of them not having Proof of Active Status for my driver's license. I contacted them and provided this info, a week later I received a renewal notice and my rates had doubled to over 400$ a month, the same day I received a second cancellation notice with no reason stated. They then proceeded to cancel my policy on July 2nd with no notice to me, leaving me uninsured on a brand new $60k vehicle, for almost a month before I noticed. I have nothing positive to say about this company whatsoever, customer service is useless and knows about as much as the consumer, upper management plays phone/email tag with you for weeks on end with no resolution to any problems. Buyers beware. Avoid this company at all costs regardless of how good of a price they may offer, I'd been insured with Sonnet for 4 years at a very reasonable rate, no claims, no tickets, perfectly clean record, and they doubled my rates with no explanation.
I've been with Sonnet for almost 2 years now. I had to move from Ontario to NS for my job and they wouldn’t insure me here. I have always been paying my monthly premiums on time... I had an accident in 2019 Jan but I didn't even file a claim. Because there was no damage to my vehicle. AND ALL THIS TIME THEY ARE OFFERING COVERAGE TO BRAND NEW CUSTOMERS HERE. They also renewed my policy for 2 years but wouldn’t insure me after moving!
They took money out of my account when cancelled my policy before the start date. And now they don't want to reverse the payment. Don't be fooled by them! They will cheat on you! They refused me for full coverage when I'm paying for full coverage from the beginning and they automatically cancelled it without me knowing hence my daughter driving without full coverage.
I have had an auto policy for just under a year. I've NEVER had an accident, claim, missed payment, or even a ticket. I happened to log onto my account online one day, only to see a large notice on my homepage stating that my policy has been cancelled and I cannot make any changes. There was no explanation offered as to why they cancelled it (I truly cannot think of a single thing that would trigger a cancellation. Absolutely nothing about my policy or driving record has changed this entire time). But the more infuriating part is that they made no attempt to contact me to inform me. No letter, no email, no phone call. I would have been driving around illegally uninsured this entire time with no idea if I didn't just happen to log onto my account one day. I called their customer service line, and the representative (not a licensed advisor) couldn't provide me ANY information about the cancellation other than "we can no longer provide coverage that meets your needs"... how is that possible in the middle of the year, when I've not requested any changes to my policy or had any change in driving record?? Considering the immediate cancellation, I tried to confirm that they would not withdraw a payment for next month and that I would be refunded for the final month that I already paid, only to be told that that was not possible. When I asked to speak to a higher level of management about the issue, I was told that would also not be possible. I am tempted to take legal action against this crook of a company.
In the middle of this pandemic, they have the guts to double my payment. Got no history of claims, no tickets, all records are clear. Not even using my vehicle that much cause of what's going on and yet they decided to double the payment. Such a CROOK thing do especially of what's happening right now. GOODBYE SONNET
SONNET Insurance seems Too Good to be True. The service is non-existent, they time you out of their online portal and they can cancel your policy at their choice, even with your payment. Stay away! You would not want to claim with them as would deny, would be a nightmare.
I was trying to get a quote for my new car. Sonnet quoted me 450 dollars a month! I am driving neither a Rolls Royce nor a Boeing...
I have been with Sonnet since 26th October 2017. They have been increasing the monthly payments every year, even after that, I have been continuing with them. They sent me an email in August in which I had to submit my rent agreement which they already had from the beginning and was submitted to them again when I had a $1600 claim on my car last year. I got to know about that email when I received a letter that my policy will be cancelled this year. That email was in spam. I rarely check my spam box. I am ready to give them whatever they need from me but according to their norms I had to reply to them in August otherwise my police will be cancelled on 26th October 2020 which is their final decision.
