More mattresses. More chairs/tables (in the event they dont have enough
available).  Motor wheel chairs (people can be put in the co-driver's seat,
but the chair with the engine has to fit somewhere). People's lugage (we can
set a 1 van trip to the airport and wait there for 10/15 people to arrive,
load the luggage there and send people by bus/taxi without the luggage).

Broken servers.

If the van breaks, we call and get a new one in no time.

Anything that needs a car: again, moving people in wheel chairs from the dorm
to the food canteen, or to the conferences area. Michelle had a need to visit
the hospital last week (or 2 weeks ago). More coffee.

Whatever is needed, you will have to find:

1. the owner of the car.
( and       2. ask/convince him to drive.
  or  (     3. ask/convince him to lend you the car
        and 4. find a driver for that car 
      ) 
) 

With a rented van you have to:

1. find someone to drive
and
(    2. get the keys from the office
  or 3. find who has the keys/van and recall them to the office
)

Which in my point of view involves less diplomacy and more "this is the way
things work here".
