I think that you are going to have a hard time finding a rental car
with a manual transmission.  More than likely you are going to have to
borrow a car to teach them in.  If you can find someone who is
willing, see if you can find a Spridget, then you get to teach them
the non syncro 1st at the beginning.

Good Luck
