I second that. The heel -to - toe, back of the truck, cardboard between bikes approach mentioned below was employed by the organizers of the 2007 London to Paris (http://www.londres-paris.com) when we took the train back to London and they brought our bikes back from Paris.
Seems like a fine enough approach.

I'd probably remove the pedals, as that's what tends to bite into the frames and gouge stuff. We used to run built bikes from the warehouse out to the shops (anywhere from 1-2 hours by freeway) in the back of a delivery truck (Iveco-type) with only bike box cardboard between them. I think we could do up to 40 bikes before having to lay any on top. That worked 99% of the time without scratches. I would expect a smaller rental box van would work fine. Be mindful of wedging them or bungie-ing them in place so they don't move during accellerations and stops.
