Need a hire car but can’t find license!!

NQManchester

Hi,
My husband crashed our car yesterday and we are due to go on holiday on Monday in the UK.
I’m looking at hiring a car (courtesy car not included in insurance) but we both can’t currently find our driving licenses.
Does anyone know if there is any way around this with any of the main hire car companies? I know you can view license details online now but not sure if that’ll be acceptable. 

Obviously I am continuing to look but we don’t have time to get replacements. 

Thanks for any advice.

however it looks like you will need your driving licence number, do you know it?

I do yes, it was more whether anyone would accept it online rather than the actual card. Not hopeful!

In your situation, I would call the company you want to use in the morning to check, you may not need it
