Digital Drivers Licence - Car Rental

[NorthernTraveller]

Hey Folks,

I hope someone can help. I am travelling back to the UK on an urgent trip. After booking my car yesterday, I noticed the rental contract requests a physical drivers licence, but I only have a digital one.

Does anyone know of any rental companies that can help with just the digital licence?

Cheers!

If you have any time tomorrow morning go into your state/territory motor vehicle registration authority and see if they can make you one up. I don’t know which places can print them on the spot.

NSW (via Service NSW) only give you a temporary paper license then the card comes in the mail a week or so later.

I wonder if the paper temporary license would do when used alongside the digital version?

Thank you for replying, Scarlett.

I have spoken with Indigo Car Hire. They said there are so many people from Australia with the same issue. The only stipulation is that I have to upload my licence before I travel (my next challenge ).

The agent I spoke to said its best to speak to them instead of booking through their website.

None of the majors in the UK will accept a digital license. May need to go to off airport cheaper options.
