Use TempData or ViewData. You can even use Session or Cache. I prefer the ViewModel approach though as it is what it's intended for. I tend to only use TempData or ViewData to fill in select lists.

If you don't need to worry about binding then you can just use the ViewBag, e.g.

public ActionResult Index()
{
    ViewBag.FirstModel = new FirstModel();
    ViewBag.SecondModel = new SecondModel();

    return View();
}

The models are then available in the view via the ViewBag.

I guess you can use a Tuple<T1, T2>...

public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View(new Tuple<Foo, Bar>(new Foo(), new Bar()));
}

View:

@model Tuple<Foo, Bar>

...

<div class="container">
    Foo value = @Model.Item1.Value
    <hr />
    Bar value = @Model.Item2.Value
</div>
