You can't view non-mail items in Public Folders in Entourage, which is a
known limitation. The next update for Entourage is supposed to have
improvements in this area, but I'm not sure whether that will extend to
reserving vehicles.

Here's an alternative for resource booking. This was posted to Andy Ruff's
[MS] blog a while back:
"As the Entourage team has been working hard to roll Exchange connectivity
into Entourage, we've developed a long list of features Outlook users have
come to expect from their Exchange client.
One of those features is Resource Booking--the ability to create a meeting
invitation, specify a recipient as a resource (typically a conference room
or some form of audio/visual equipment), and, prior to sending the meeting
invitation, confirm that the resource is available for the meeting and
reserve the resource if it is available.
Entourage 2004 does not quite play nicely as a client trying to book
resources. Entourage has no concept of resources in booking meetings and is
therefore unable to confirm the availability of a resource prior to sending
out a meeting invitation. While this is unfortunate, there is a solution for
Exchange administrators to workaround this problem, the Exchange 2003: Auto
Accept Agent. <

The Auto Accept Agent enables an Exchange server to check incoming meeting
invitations for mailboxes designated as resources and, based on their
availability at the requested time, accept or deny the meeting invitation.
We recently began using the tool within Microsoft and the process of booking
conference rooms to discuss all our work going into the next version of Mac
Office has been greatly eased."
