Sonnet Auto Insurance Reviews

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 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.

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.

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.

A few reasons that made no sense for the increase-INFLATION. Sonnet applied to increase premiums and they got permission to do so.

Everything was all fine and dandy, I was happy with the rates. Soon as I missed a payment after three years of not missing one, they sent me cancelation warnings and I kept trying to email the same email they were emailing me from telling them to try to take the money out but it wasn't working. Finding the number for sonnet online was nearly impossible. My policy got canceled and the day of the cancelation they took the money they owed from me when they could have just kept the policy going by taking the payment I missed out of my account.

Trying to get a new policy was a nightmare. They kept sending back the application as incomplete and I got help from several representatives all saying okay its good now, just try re submitting it. Three weeks and 5 applications later they finally just ghosted me. Your the absolute worst. Wasted my time and treated me like shit after I was a faithful customer for three years grrr

Don't mess with them. In the second year they increase the payments very much.
Customer service is useless. You won't be able to get a discount from them.
Try more popular insurance companies. They have better coverage and lower costs.

No picking up calls in time. No work done perfectly and showing to others while needed any estimate. Increasing price to much not justifiable. Very annoying behaviour of agents many times.

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.....
