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!

You may be able to walk into a roads authority in your State and arrange something. In Vic at least it used to be about 10 days for a new card to be issued, but it is possible that they may be able to issue something on the spot given the urgency.

Also I would suggest getting an International Drivers Licence. Many places will required you to have it to rent even if both jurisdictions are English speaking in any event.
