Four of us are planning to bike from Cumberland to DC in June. We need to rent a vehicle to drive with our bikes to Cumberland. Any thoughts on what vehicles might work? We are considering a van with stow and go rear seats.

I have done this the last three years, for three people returning (once with two bikes, twice with three bikes). I rented a minivan one-way each time. I think I had a Grand Caravan the first time and Chrysler Pacificas the other two times. I am not sure if you can stand 4 adult bikes up in the back. I took the front wheels off, and laid them down flat. I got some cardboard to put between the bikes to cushion them. Worked fine. Maybe having the people in the back sit tandem (fold seats down on the right, backseat passengers in different rows) would enable the bikes to be stored upright.

I think I used Enterprise once, and Budget the other two times. I used local offices in Arlington twice, and the counter at National Airport the last time. Make sure you inspect the car thoroughly, and I always take pictures at pickup.
