I cant recommend any rentals in Europe, but there is a guy in Amsterdam, Ron
Salmon told us about him last summer. Ron?

Mostly conversions made by companies like Westfalia, Karmann, Reimo,
Dethleff etc.

Take a look at http://www.vwn.de/uk/index1.html to see the current models
available in Germany. I guess the rental cars will look similar. As for the
mechanical side, mostly the vans will be equipped with either the 2,5 gas
engine also known in the US/Canada, but the 2,4D and 2,5TDI are popular
engines, too. The 2,4D is not exactly a racer, but will keep up with
European traffic.
