Yes, you’ll still need to get car insurance for your leased or financed vehicle. It’s not included in your lease or contract.

The leasing or financing company may have specific car insurance requirements as a condition of your contract with them. These could include a minimum deductible for collision and comprehensive coverages. You’ll also need to list them on your policy as an additional interest, since they have a stake in your car. And, they’ll require you to provide them with proof of insurance.

Once you've purchased your auto policy, we’ll send you an email with a link to activate your Sonnet account. Your car’s pink slip (also known as your liability card or liability slip) and proof of insurance will be accessible directly through your account. From there, you can download and print them out.

Looking for your pink slip in your account? Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your account and click on your auto policy.
2. Click Download documents.
3. Select Download under your Liability Card to get your pink slip.
4. We’ll also send you a hard copy of your new pink slip through the mail (which takes about 5 business days).

Haven’t received your liability slip in the mail? First, double check the mailing address listed on your account. You can do this by signing into your account and selecting Settings. If your mailing address is incorrect, contact us.

Heads up! Although digital pink slips are now accepted in some provinces, you’ll still need to carry a physical pink slip for your Sonnet auto policy while driving. We do not offer an electronic pink slip option at this time.

Using your vehicle to carry paying passengers is considered business use and is NOT covered by your policy. This includes, but is not limited to Uber, Lyft or any other similar ridesharing services.

Each province has government regulations that oversee how prices are determined by insurance companies. At Sonnet, we use your personal information combined with public information about your vehicle and driver history to calculate a price just for you. Some of the factors we look at to determine the cost of your insurance include:

• Number of past claims
• Information about you (e.g. how many years you’ve been a licensed driver)
• Traffic violations (e.g. speeding tickets)
• Where you live
• Your vehicle and how you use it

Using these details and a whole lot of math and statistics, you get the most competitive price – savings included. The whole process takes just 5 minutes and the price you’re quoted is final. Buy online right away or save your quote and lock in your price for 45 days or until the coverage start date (whichever is sooner).
