Without knowing what kind of a kayak you will be renting, it is difficult to know what kind of "tie down" options you have at your disposal. If you you could somehow attach a piece of wood that spans the yak from side to side, you could drill some holes in the wood large enough to accommodate pieces of 1.5" ABS pipe. Drill vertical holes for rod storage and angled holes for trolling.

Insert pieces of PVC into the holes, strap the piece of wood to the kayak and go fishing. You could make the device at home and break it down so it easily fits in your luggage. Figuring out how to attach it to the rental will be the hard part.

Seat mounted rod holders are a poor option. The rods rest against your back and the seats are bulky. RAM has a suction cup mount - it's best suited to sit-insides are for electronics.

I travel for kayak fishing a fair amount, setting up shop on borrowed boats that aren't fully rigged. I use my modified Plano marine box. A cheap plastic 2 rod rack is bolted to the back, angled aft. A couple of tie downs completes the kit. The box fits in a suitcase add doesn't add much weight.
