I just became a Dollar Express member and called them to add this information to my 2 bookings...well come to find out they "No longer" accept this with prepaid vouchers!! :mad:
I became a member because I wanted to avoid having to wait in the lines etc.
This really annoys me!!! I hear/read often from people coming from overseas using Dollar express (very recently too) so how can this be???? :(

Can you provide more detail?
Are you referring to the use of the prepaid tour vouchers obtained from dollar.co.uk or other prepaid sites?
If so, then I completely understand why they are imposing this restriction. When you book a Dollar Express reservation, the renting location actually opens and preprints your contract an hour or two before you arrive. They can't open your contract without the form of payment, and you're bringing the form of payment with you when you pick up the car--the voucher.
There are also some IT challenges--the international prepaid tour voucher system operates on a completely different computer system that doesn't integrate well with the standard Dollar reservation and rental systems.
You can probably use Dollar Express if you do not book with the prepaid, all-inclusive tour vouchers.

My last rental at MCO, there was a huge line. The manager came along the line to see if there where any Express members in line. He told me to go direct to the parking lot, they accepted the prepaid voucher (not Dollar direct) in the parking lot.
In the car and away in 15mins and no line;););)
