– LONGTERMCAR Operations Team
Emil Sultanov’s story starts in Eastern Europe, where he grew up in a hardworking family. That hard work stuck with him and helped shape everything he’d do later in life.
In 1991, Emil moved to the United States, hoping to build a better life. He settled in San Diego and got to work learning the business etiquette of his new hometown. Using what he knew about customer service, he saw a gap in the market: long-term car rentals. He knew both locals and businesses needed flexible, affordable options for longer rentals, something not many companies offered.
In 2004, Emil took a big step and started his own company, LONGTERMCAR, focused only on long-term rentals. He started small, with just a few cars and a small office, but he worked hard to build a company people could trust. As the company grew, his family joined in too, helping with everything from customer service to managing the cars and marketing.
LONGTERMCAR quickly became known for being honest, fair on price, and willing to work with each customer’s needs. Because it stayed family-run and local, the company built a close team and strong bonds with the San Diego community. Emil’s focus on good service and lasting relationships helped the business grow year after year.
Emil is also known for giving back. He supports local charities, sponsors community events, and helps with projects that make life better for people in San Diego. He believes strongly in helping others, not just running a business.
Today, Emil’s company is proof of his hard work and vision. With a large fleet of cars, loyal customers, and a great team, the company keeps growing under its leadership. Emil’s journey from a new immigrant to a successful business owner shows what’s possible with hard work, and it inspires others to chase their own dreams while giving back to their community.

We believe in giving you the type of customer service that
meets your expectations from beginning to end. We are happy to answer all your
questions during our simple reservation process and offer a personalized
vehicle pick-up appointment. Once you arrive at our office you will be greeted
and served with respect. We will review our contract with you, to make sure you
understand our terms and provide pricing breakdown. Documentation on your vehicle
will be provided along with a complete check-out sheet with all prior damage,
fuel level and condition noted. We provide this as a courtesy, and we always
encourage our renters to take photos themselves prior to driving off our lot.
We maintain all vehicles to the highest standards and document all cosmetic
flaws. We also work with local third-party providers to ensure our renters have
access to fast and reliable maintenance services, when needed. As a small family
local owned business, we value the care and condition of all fleet vehicles. We
value our cars, our clients, and our team, and together we
get you on the road with more cash left in your wallet. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions Page
