About Us

LongRates.Com began in 2005 after two entrepreneurs watched a news broadcast about decreasing gas rates in Southern California. The reporter added, almost as an afterthought, that it was the third time rates had been lowered , but most customers were never informed about the new rate structures.

The company’s founders decided they could do something about this lack of communication to consumers and the idea for LongRates.Com was born.

LongRates.Com started on a local level, visiting local school functions and gathered rate information from members of their community and their service providers. They manually entered the information in emails, and sent them out by hand to their customers.

As the number of customers grew, the team realized the need to automate their business, and the interned provided the perfect vehicle. LongRates.Com launched soon after that and has been providing up –to-the-minute rate information to customers in Southern California ever since.
