Hawks, Dogs, Cats, and Snakes can/will actively hunt them.
If you've got some idea of what paths they are taking...
Pee and poop.
Got cats? Dump some used litter where they might be traveling. Got dogs? Get a pooper scooper and deposit the poo where it might do some good. Got a mason jar? Fill it with water, drink it all down and walk around for a bit, fill it up with your pee and pour it where the critter might be traveling. Note: You probably already know this, but keep feces away from where you'll be actively working in the garden its gross in general and disease/parasites can infect you.
Rabbits should have a pretty sensitive sense of smell, so maybe some type of perfume-y smelly (think something like Fa-breeze or super fragrant fabric softener) liquid could be sprayed around where they might be traveling without having to handle/spread animal/human waste. If you exercise or get really sweaty, keep a cheap cotton towel handy to wipe off sweat, when it gets really disgusting you can lay it out on the ground pinned down with rocks. Gives the ability to spread the human smell over a larger area that also changes the environment that the rabbit is used to.
Plastic owls might work. Just move them around every few days and they might work like a scare crow.
If you are up when they are active and are fine with loud noises, fireworks, loud whistles, firearm blanks (we use 12 gauge shotgun blanks and bottle rockets to try to train the red tailed hawks when they start eyeing the poultry).
If you're fine with killing them, there are .22 rounds called "snake shot" that's just a small shotgun round.
