This hasn't happened to me, but last year I had to cut a trip short as the rental agent pointed out that my license was expiring that week. Fortunately, I was able to make adjustments to my schedule in order to get back to ATL and renew my license in time to head out for the next trip.
The other time I lost my License on a trip (left it in the seatback pocket on the plane; yup, it was dumb), I was supposed to rent a car at the end of a convention in Cincinati, take a leisurely drive through Kentucky, and fly out of Louisville. No dice to get the car without a license. Luckily, NW was incredibly helpful, and let me fly out of Cinci. I even got the elite upgrades!
