Run from Sonnet and Economical - Worst Insurance Ever!

by QW on Jan 25, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

I am currently sitting on day 31 since my car was stolen on Boxing Day and have yet to receive a settlement. My experience with Sonnet and Economical has been the absolute worst customer experience of my life. Throughout this whole horrible process I have called, messaged, chatted and emailed Sonnet and Economical customer representatives and my adjuster countless times and all I get is no response, empty promises of call-backs and supposed escalation that goes nowhere. When I finally spoke with my adjuster after countless complaints and resorting to Twitter, she told me the claim would be wrapped up by the end of the week but that was 10 days ago. I've been calling and emailing her directly for the past 10 days but she will not return calls or emails. If you're needing insurance don't run to the quick online deal through Sonnet. Support your local brick and mortar companies that actually have people you can go in and see who will answer your calls when you call and who will actually be the insurance you need for your car and sanity.

A painful claim experience

by Ming Gao on Jan 7, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

The experience of making a vehicle claim with Economical insurance company this time is really unforgettable for me, and I hope that I will never have any association with this company again.
I am a UBER driver. There was a traffic accident in November 2021. After nearly 2 months of processing, I received compensation today and the claim is over. My car was hit and scrapped, but the insurance company bought out my car at a price of nearly 1,000 lower than the market price. If there is any objection, I can continue to appeal, but I am worried that I will be caught in protracted-time consumption and have to agree to their bid. My feeling is that I was hit twice, once by another driver and once by an Economical Insurance.
The communication with this insurance company during this period is really maddening. Basically, you can’t find your adjuster and their manager. They don’t reply to your emails, don’t reply to your calls. Don’t reply to the customers’ emails and the phones seems to be the rules and regulations of this insurance company.
In such an unequal situation, you are left with only a long time to wait and being anxiety, which is a particularly painful experience. I sincerely hope that the fewer people who experience it, the better.
In Canada, I have never met a company that doesn't care about the customer's feelings like this. Later, I realized that it is UBER company chose this insurance company, and UBER drivers have no right to choose which insurance company to insure, so the Economical Insurance Company can ignore the feelings of individual UBER drivers without losing money.
In short, cherish your life and wallet, please stay away from ECONOMICAL Insurance Company.

Claim

The worst insurance company that I’ve ever worked with. They are just raising prices and don’t care about customers. I’m waiting for a response on my claim already 3 months. I provided all the information that’s been asked. I found it myself even though it was in their system. I visited the police department 3 times to get it, and nothing happened. It is terrible. Would never recommend this company.

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.

They are sooo much careless and don’t know what going on at their desk as well. They are handling the claim but didn’t know how to proceed it in a proper way

Economical - joke

by Cheryl on Oct 23, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Hail damage 7/2, claim with Sonnet. Few calls later: body shop appt on 08/09 (ugh 5 weeks). 8/5, $1100+ into a new ECM and battery. Sept: weekly emails/ calls to "adjuster" go ignored. Send email to all stating FIFTH REQUEST as subject; windshield damage expanded, not safe, tires required for winter if keeping. "Adjuster" emails saying not her file, contact ** (no contact info). More emails. 10/05 told no damage report yet; call body shop. Days later, adj says "total loss". Ask about retention as cosmetic. A week later sent what they call comparable sales 100s of km away (higher mileage, months ago, the market is tight used now). Send 4 current, local ads; told their valuation is "independent"/non-negotiable. More emails; finally get a settlement offer letter on October 13. Sent registration & signed document back same day. Not in agreement; accepted to move on. October 26; email sent asking if they need anything else from me. Waiting

The company use dealing tactics to make you accept what they offer you I dealt with one of their adjuster who does not know about the insurance act diagram of determining fault.
She is assigned to my case 1697600 never call to discuss the claim I could not believe this.

Client for Years

by Frustrated Client on Oct 22, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Our experience was horrible. We have been a customer for around 10 years. The first time we needed to make a claim was when our truck was stolen and a total loss. We provided Economical all the information the requested and even went as far as providing them local prices on replacing the vehicle, same year, same make, same model. Economical provided their Market Driven Validation Report in which they didn't even compare the same vehicle we lost. The price they appraised the vehicle was 1/2 the price of what it would actually cost to replace it. Even our broker got involved as they also couldn't believe how the claim was being handled.
Economical may have saved a few thousands of dollars on the claim, but they have lost 10s of thousands of dollars with our future business. Congratulations Economical on your shortsightedness.

Bad company

by De-Gaulle Armstrong on Oct 15, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

They don't answer customers. You can be on phone for a whole hour wanting to reach them. I had a rental by them and they called me, I mean one representative of Economical Insurance called to change the return date for my vehicle rental. I went by her words and it looks like she together with the rental company are trying to rip me of 170 bucks. All efforts to reach her by phone and email are fruitless. I can't get back my money I deposited for the rental either.

Dropping the ball on my claim

by CAB on Sep 9, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

It has been 3 1/2 weeks since I submitted my claim for my vehicle.
The reputable auto repair shop (over 50 years of quality service in our city) requested an independent appraiser to come and see the vehicle.
We are still waiting for an adjuster.
Nothing has been done to repair our vehicle as of yet.
NO claim should take this long to resolve.
It's funny that the insurance company takes their premiums without hesitation, but it takes forever for them to follow through with their end of the policy.
Stay tuned.....

Cancelling my policy

by firas on Jul 13, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

I was a victim of fraudulent insurance by a broker named (Daniel C) a name that might be very familiar since he was all over the news in selling fake insurance. He sold me insurance from Economical which I received my package from them, then a few months later I got my cancellation package for non-payment even though I did pay this guy in full for the whole year. Right after that I called Economical and I sent them a trackable email with attachments proves that this guy got the money from me it even included audio attachments and pictures, so after speaking to them many many times and keep promising that they will escalate to the higher authority or manager or the underwriter but none of that was done. As I mentioned that the trackable email tells me how many times they opened my email, in fact, they did open it 116 times and I told them that yet all that I get from them is just promises but nothing in reality.
