Im sure the rental agreement had a disclosure. So wasn’t hidden.
Just your bog standard ignorance and not reading what you’re agreeing too.
Last time I had to rent a car, it was a digital agreement that automatically scrolled to the bottom where I had to sign and the guy got very irritated when I scrolled back to the top to take a look at what I was signing. Now imagine you’ve got a kid or you’re late for work or whatever else is going on… These things are designed to take advantage of you.
'Hidden clauses' are a thing, and depending on your locale can be unenforceable if you weren't made aware of it beforehand.
