You can rent a car with your FIT Mastercard just as you would with any other credit card. Seeing as how the card is a Mastercard, it will be accepted at almost any merchant that takes cards as a payment method.
However, it would not be a good idea to rent a car with your FIT Mastercard. 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 FIT Mastercard is a 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 of, or all of your credit to pay for a rental could raise your credit utilization ratio, which will hurt your credit score.
Finally, while it is technically possible to rent a car with the FIT Mastercard, it would be best to just find another payment method.
