Those will let you set up the saddle vertical position and the drop or rise to the handlebar.

distance from front of brake hood to point where saddle top intersects axis of seat tube,
horizontal distance from nose of saddle to a plumb line down to the BB center (bike must be level).

Also, saddle length, stem length, and handlebar reach may be useful.

This should let you transfer contact point locations from bike to bike.

I hope I haven't gone overboard.
Not at all for a complete transfer. I've not done a lot of renting. But, what I have the shop hasn't wanted to change stems, cranks, etc. to completely match my own bike. But, I think the "best fit" changes over time so adapting to a rental bike isn't that big a problem as long as it gets adjusted close.

Thanks everyone.
