Horrible communication

First year with Sonnet was great, problems come at the time of renewal. My car insurance went up $150 a month and home insurance $30. I had a minor speeding ticket, no claims and no accidents. No claims ever filed for home. The increase in premiums is outrageous and there is no explanation. They lost me as a customer in just 1 year!
The industry as a whole is monopolistic. I bought a brand new car and had it insured with Sonnet. The payment went through with no issues. I had a clean record, no claims, and or tickets in over 22 years. However for some reason, sonnet cancelled my insurance. I called them and they said they tried contacting me by email because they could not withdraw from my account. I called the bank and they said your account was fine and Sonnet was not withdrawing. I told Sonnet that I was willing to pay the lost amounts and get it settled with my bank. They said they could not and jacked my insurance. I tried to get another quote with other insurance providers and because of this issue of no fault of mine, they all bonded and monopolized against me. Sonnet corrupted my record and does not care. Stay far away from Sonnet.
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 took my car to a shop I preferred and got very low interaction/communication from my adjusters. They would only follow up if I reached out to the Ombudsman. It's been over a year and they want to reveiw my file again.
Will just cancel for a non payment, even if you can make the payment and it's a processing issue. Cannot make early payments, will continually argue. Canceled my policy for a bank communication error and told me there was nothing they could do when I was trying to just make the payment since their recurring system caused my account to think it was fraud. Horrible service, no one to contact half the time. Now making it harder for me to get new insurance from a competitor, and are showing I'm a non paying customer which raises my risk setting when I've been trying to make either early or make up payments when the recurring schedule didn't work. Never received their registered letter which they just say was sent out, and the only emails I got regarding the time period associated was about an alumni offer.
This company is a waste of money!!! I been a with them for 3 years and they decided to cancel my insurance on me for no reason at all. I have NO tickets, no accidents, all my payments have been paid ON TIME. I got told right by sonnet to do a new quote for my new inquiry, i do so and half way through my quote they turn around and cancel my insurance!!!! Now i am missing work because they fooled around with my insurance. I do NOT recommend going with this company I have never heard ANYONE I know with them have positive reviews. They will literally do what ever they can to not pay our an insurance claim, people are having to take them to court in order to get their entitled claims, etc!!! This company is a complete joke. Guess thats what I get for using a “online only” company. Lesson learned!! Save your time and money and look elsewhere!
Do not deal with this company. Their customer service is zero. I had a terrible experience just updating my policy.
It's pretty much non-existent. Good luck trying to talk to someone when you need them.
They Cancelled our insurance for something that wasn`t relevant to our policy! We called & spoke with an agent & they looked at our policy & said that they didn`t see anything wrong. They asked us to sent a drivers abstract report for each driver & they would review our policy. I spent money for the reports & sent them as I was told. I emailed 3 different times & they never responded to any of my emails. They are not a very professional insurance company to deal with!
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.

Great example of "you get what you pay for". They have lower rates, but you pay for it in other ways if you have a claim. Having an adjuster that doesn't answer calls or emails made it impossible to get a rental car (even though it was included with the insurance) after being rear ended. Car is getting repaired, but having to miss several days of work and pay a deductible for a not-at-fault accident is ridiculous. Though friendly, the people who answer calls say they have no way of helping- it's up to the non-responsive adjuster to approve the rental car. Being left stranded without a vehicle for several days without an adjuster to help has made this experience much more stressful. Save yourself some money and go with a reputable company, even if it means paying a bit more in premiums. It will pay off in the end if you ever make a claim.
