In intent, I would like to say we dont want to violate the FAR's but at
the same time we want to hold our club members responsible for expenses
incurred by them leaving the aircraft away from its base.

If that's your goal, the solution is to make sure you hire a commercial
pilot to fly stranded airplanes back. Since you're passing the costs back
to the original renter anyway, you should have no problem with that. It's
just an extra administrative hassle, is all.

You may even be able to find commercial pilots willing to do the task for no
other compensation than the free use of the airplane. Hours are hours,
after all.
