Toyota Camry vs Subaru Impreza: Rent in LA

The Toyota Camry vs Subaru Impreza choice in Los Angeles comes down to features and rate. Both are 2025 models, both seat five, and both rent by the week with the same deposit and mileage terms. The Camry adds a 360 camera, while the Impreza adds blind-spot monitoring.

Key takeaways

• The 2025 Toyota Camry is $400 per week and the 2025 Subaru Impreza is $329 per week, so the rate is the main money difference.
• Both cars carry the same deposit hold, the same included miles and the same per-mile overage.
• The Camry has a 360 camera; the Impreza has a blind-spot monitor.
• Every car in our fleet rents by the week, so plan for a rental of at least seven days.

How do the Toyota Camry and Subaru Impreza compare on price?

The 2025 Subaru Impreza is the lower rate of the two. It is $329 per week, while the 2025 Toyota Camry is $400 per week. Both are priced by the week, and neither can be booked for a single day.

The deposit is the same on both cars. The Camry carries a $100 deposit and the Impreza carries a $100 deposit. The deposit is a hold on your card, separate from the rental total.

Base rates exclude taxes, fees and extras, so treat the rate as the starting point and not the whole price. The booking page shows what applies to your dates. Weekly rentals are the actual offer on both cars, and the booking page shows the weekly price.

If price is the only thing deciding your choice, the Impreza has the lower rate. If a few extra features matter to you, the Camry's rate may be worth it. The next sections show what each car adds.

What is included with each car?

Both cars include the same mileage and the same overage charge. Each comes with 200 miles per day on the Camry and 200 miles per day on the Impreza. Daily allowances add up across the whole rental, so a longer stay gives you more included miles.

If you go past the included miles, the Camry bills $0.45 and the Impreza bills $0.45. In the cost chart's example, 50 extra miles a day are billed at $0.45 each on the Camry. That example is only an illustration, not a prediction of your trip.

The minimum renter age is 25 on both cars. Check that before you book, since it applies to both the Camry and the Impreza.

Because the included miles, overage and deposit match, the terms do not separate these two cars. The rate and the features do. Follow your local rules.

How do the Toyota Camry and Subaru Impreza differ as cars?

The two cars are close in size and different in equipment. Both are black 2025 models with five seats. We list the Camry in our Economy class and the Impreza in our SUV class.

The Camry has lane-keep assist, adaptive cruise, a backup camera and a 360 camera. It also has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth and USB or USB-C charging. The 360 camera is the standout for tight parking spots around the city.

The Impreza has a backup camera, adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitor and lane-keep assist. It also has Bluetooth, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and USB or USB-C charging. The blind-spot monitor is the feature the Camry does not list.

So the choice is a 360 camera or a blind-spot monitor. Both cars share adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist, a backup camera and phone connectivity. If you want the closest comparison, read our guides on the Toyota Camry and the Subaru Impreza.

What does a longer rental look like in each?

A longer rental costs more in base rate, and the trend is steady. Both cars rent for at least 7 days and up to 28 days. Nothing shorter than a week is offered on either car.

The chart below follows the Camry across 7 to 28 days. The line rises as the rental gets longer. A second line shows the same rental with an example of 50 extra miles a day, which sits above the base line.

The Impreza follows the same shape at its own lower rate. Included miles grow with the length of your rental, so a longer stay also gives you more room before overage applies. Keep your plans inside the 28-day limit on both cars.

If you expect to drive a lot, check your route against the included miles before you book. Overage is billed per mile once you pass the allowance, as shown above. The booking page lays out your dates and what applies.

Which one should you rent?

Pick the Impreza if you want the lower rate and still want adaptive cruise, lane-keep assist and a blind-spot monitor. It suits a renter who spends time on busy roads and wants that extra check beside the car. Pick the Toyota Camry if you want the 360 camera for tight spaces and are fine with the higher rate.

For groups, the two are equal, since each seats five. For longer stays, the included miles and overage match, so the rate and features decide it. Neither car has a lower deposit than the other.

You can also look past these two. Our fleet has a few other cars with the same weekly format, including the 2025 Ford Escape and the 2025 Honda Accord. The table below lines up the whole fleet.
