Multiple outlets report on a reader question about whether it is safer to use a digital driving licence when renting a car overseas in Europe. The article focuses on guidance for travellers considering documentation for car hire, particularly when presenting proof of identity and driving eligibility at rental counters. All sources frame the story as a practical “don’t make this mistake” response to common confusion around digital licences, suggesting travellers may face issues if they rely only on a digital version without meeting the rental company’s requirements. The coverage indicates that rental staff and authorities may require specific formats of licence documentation, and that travellers should confirm acceptance of digital licences with the hire provider before booking. The reports present the topic as a general warning rather than a specific incident, emphasizing that requirements can vary by country and rental company and that travellers should check what they need to carry at the time of pick-up.
