    You might want to try asking on a more local group:
    http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Prius-UK/
    http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Prius-Europe/
    and if you can read German:

    The selection is slim and not very attractive. The SMART car wouldn't be a
    bad choice on the highways but it has poorer economy in town and much poorer
    throttle response. On a rental basis the poor reliability might not matter.
    The VW Lupo 3L gets better economy city and highway, but the city driving
    gets the wrong sort of raves.

    If you want air conditioning and efficiency, the Prius is still king. OTOH,
    diesel is likely to be more widely available and lower priced.

    Thank you MRV, EdV and Mike: your replies have helped a lot.

    I have put the question to both http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Prius-Europe/
    and http://de.groups.yahoo.com/group/toyota_prius_de. If I have no
    luck with these, I'll look for a diesel. The SMART car and the Lupo
    3L are probably too small for us (two adults, two children and a bit
    of luggage).

    Thank you again!

    Hope your trip is a nice one! My wife does the planning for our vacations
    (she's a wizard at it) and I see she relies a lot on travel forums where
    people who have already gone can weigh in.
