any thoughts or ideas?
its too cost prohibitive at this time to fly
Unfortunately, you can neither rent a car nor be added on as an additional driver on an existing rental without presenting a valid drivers license (well, unless you find a rep willing to risk their job for you).
Are you a student? Can you just transfer residency to the state in which you currently reside and get a license through their DMV? Can you request a replacement (or at least a temporary replacement) from your home DMV via mail?
The other option would be for a friend to rent a car, drive you home, you get a new license, get added on to the contract, drive back and pay for the rental yourself at return. Have to be a pretty good friend though, depending on distance, lol.
