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.

STAY AWAY

by Cathy Maclellan on Nov 18, 2021

We had a no-fault insurance claim go through sonnet. The other driver was visiting Canada, from the USA. Sonnet took 8 days to file a claim. They did the estimate using 15 comparable cars to get the evaluation. I asked them to use only 5 ( you can do that ), they told me that it would not be fair to the other insurance company to do it that way. That is not working in the best interest of your client who pays insurance to you when it's not your fault in the accident. Sonnet also told me that I would not get my deductible back because they were going to keep it because the USA does not recognize no-fault insurance. When I researched it, some US states do, and the one that hit me did recognize no-fault.
Sonnet would not help me at all, or work in my best interest. They maybe a cheap company but that is all they are good for. Build up your insurance with them first (pray you do not get in an accident ) then go find another insurance company that works for you.

If you have a good driving record in AB, you should pay around $110/month (women - $105/month and men - $113/month). Do you overpay? Get an Alberta car insurance quote to start saving.

Very happy with service

I was very pleased when I switched to Sonnet, they charged me half of what I was paying. And when I cancelled because I had sold my car, there were no cancellation fees. Very happy about that.

Scammers. Stay away

Scammers. Stay away from Sonnet & Economical Insurance company at all costs. I got into an accident & when I tried to get hold of them they tried everything to avoid me & refused any rental or collision coverages claim and also said my policy doesn’t have any of these coverages. Crooks, liars. Save your time & hard-earned money. Never ever get insurance from them.

If I could give them 0 I would

Last year I signed up for Sonnet Auto Insurance and with probably millions of others, I had a major cut back on my hours causing financial hardship I did miss two payments and I paid the first one per agreement. The second one was due to when I signed up for Direct deposit I was advised that my banking account was already on file from a previous claim from 2014. The only issue was it was an older bank account. I tried MULTIPLE times to contact Sonnet, via email and phone; not one person returned my call until it was too late and the payment bounced I tried changing the payment info and was advised to contact customer service. It was a week and no one could get back to me.
No, not that they couldn't they wouldn't. Bottom line I had the money for the second missed payment and was not able to get in touch with anyone to give them um customer service yet no service. If you're here weighing the pros and cons I believe the numbers speak for itself

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.

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!

Horrible claims had to file claim twice. The adjuster did not answer emails or return calls in a sufficest manner.
Do yourself a favour don’t go with Sonnet!

Crooks

On September 15, 2021, we cancelled our renewed car auto insurance policy and the home insurance policy started date October 3, 2021.

On October 12, 2021, we have gotten two registered letters from Sonnet Insurance. Sonnet wants us to pay for renewed policies that were cancelled 18 days in advance.
We found out that Sonnet Insurance on October 3, 2021, tried an unauthorized attempt to take money from our visa card for car auto insurance policy and our home insurance policy started date October 3, 2021, those were cancelled by us on September 15, 2021. In our opinion, it is a theft attempt. We were lucky. Visa changed Visa card before that attempt.

Not happy with car insurance reviews for your insurance company? Get a quote across up to 20 Canadian car insurers and make sure that you do not pay too much.

Had 2 cars for 280$ per month.
Sold 1 and my policy went up to 286$.
They told me with 1 car I lost a multi-vehicle discount. They tell you ridiculous lies that make no sense. And again whose gonna make them stop. Not our politicians.
