Lost Drivers Licence - Hiring a car in Italy ?

[Noger]

Arggghh....lost my DL, and have a hire car booked in Verona, Italy tomorrow.

DVLA say they can fax a "Certificate of Entitlement" to the hire car office.

But SIXT won't accept this. Nor will Avis....

Does anyone have experience of doing this, are there any Hire Car companies that will accept the faxed doc ? I can't be the only one to have done this !!

Thanks.

Happened to me at Alicante airport a few years back. The woman behind the desk gave me the DVLA number and they faxed it over. They gave me the keys to the car and away i went. Can't remember the company.
