Update for December 2022:
For anyone looking for this answer, the Rapid Rewards section for car rentals is down indefinitely. It is possible to rent a car with Rapid Rewards points, but you need to have 75% of the value of the rental accumulated or purchased in points, and the remainder can be purchased by credit card, if necessary. To reserve a car or speak to a representative, call (888) 658-4826.

Possible, but not advised due to the really poor redemption rates.
Southwest has stated: "Starting 2023: Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Cardmembers are getting even more ways to redeem and enjoy the points they’ve earned." so look for this to be bookable online next year, although still a horrible use of RR points.

I have a trip coming up in January and I have already cancelled and rebooked the same rental car now six times (free cancellation and no money paid to reserve) and the price for the week went from $497 to $367 now.
Once you use points, I'm not sure if you are getting a good deal. I'm already saving $130 on the rental car by simply watching the prices.
I use points to fly only, not for anything else.
