Yes, you can rent a car with your Self Visa® Credit Card. The card is issued on the Visa network, so it is accepted almost everywhere credit cards can be used as a payment method, including car rental agencies. Please note that the card does not offer a rental car insurance benefit at the time.
However, it would not be a good idea to rent a car with your Self Visa® Credit Card. Car rental companies usually put a hold on your credit line in the amount of the rental, plus the security deposit, until you return the car. Seeing as how the Self Visa® Credit Card is a secured card meant for people with bad credit, chances are that the credit limit won’t be high enough to support such an expense.
Also, keep in mind that using a large part or all of your credit to pay for a rental could raise your credit utilization ratio, which will hurt your credit score. So, while it is technically possible to rent a car with the Self Visa® Credit Card, it would be best to just find another payment method.
