Driving license should be either international or national license from an EU state. If you have forgotten your driving license, you don't have any or it is not valid, because it is not recognised, you can still rent the car in your name with your credit card, but a second driver with valid license is obliged to drive.

Upon request and with extra charge, you can return it at another location.
