SELECTid, person_name, NULL AS car_description, date_arrival, date_departureFROM TABLE1
UNION
SELECTid, NULL AS person_name, car_description, date_arrival, date_departureFROM TABLE2
ORDER BY <what you want>
But be careful, w/o constraints there's no guarantee that the id's are
really unique on both tables!
