Sorry about CVG. For some reason, no matter the rental agency, CVG gets a bad rap. At least in DAY, there is a parking garage across from the terminal with all the rentals, minus Dollar/Thrifty.

As an aside, I'm bummed that the XTS will be eliminated from Cadillac's lineup after 2016 or so.

There were two Caddy's and a 528i front and center, I guess they weren't feeling generous for an otherwise very spartan lot.

Assigned: Dacia Duster (H)
Requested: Something "classier" as I was on my way to a wedding
Received: Mercedes B180 (E)
Status: Avis Preferred plus
Pleasant surprise with the B180, the Duster is a gas guzzler and doing a 5-hour journey on one is not really nice in my opinion.
The 180 handles really well on the road , and has a low mpg ratio, as I averaged about 5l/100km, i.e. 47 mpg

Car Reserved: Full
Received: Buick Enclave
Status: PC
If I had 4-6 passengers, the Enclave would be great. For an everyday driver, though, it's definitely overkill -- big, floaty, hard to park. Nothing really wrong with it, but if I get it again I think I'll swap down to something smaller (even if it's not technically an upgrade). Problem is, I tend to get in to BDL late at night, when hassling with the counter isn't appealing.
