A lot of european tourists ask if we have a manual transmission vehicle available, so I figure if we only rent it to people with cool accents we should be ok! Either it will be the best or worst idea I have ever had. I bought a cheapo car just in case it is the latter. Feel free to tell me it was the best idea, I am already having second thoughts!

Why not go online and see if you can find precautionary standards used by Europeans? Maybe they have professional online forums you could ask? It seems that in the lands of autobahns, racing green, and formula 1 they must have yahoos too. How do they screen? What secruity do they get? Is the law different or do they just have different contract and pre- and post-rental practices?
I think it is a great idea. I would rent one for certain, if only your business was somewhere I need to go. =)
