This is the reason why I stopped renting out.  A total loss and grand
inconvenience in time and money.  Though I was only renting them out for
about $100/day.  The most troublesome was when someone with total lack of
knowledge of Vanagons and manual gear changes, clutching.
The last time the clutch was burnt blue on the first day.

I have to wonder who is responsible for what after a break down or accident.
What are the recovery or get home options? This seems like a huge risk for
both parties considering vehicles that are not readily replaceable.

Yes they are.  FAS in Maine has just started renting fully equipped Westies
for up to 4 vacationers.  $1675.00 a week and 1500 miles.  About as much as
an expensive hotel stay, but your hotel room doesn't take you places.
