So I'm thinking this might be the way to go - train or bus BUD straight to KRK, get a car and do our exploring southward from there, then return to KRK to do the city for a couple days.
If you're renting a car in Poland, I'd recommend Express.pl, I've used them on many occasions and for various lengths of time. The rates are much lower than any of the international agencies, the cars have always been in good condition, they've never had an issue with taking them abroad, and there's a wide variety of extra options should you need them, available as packages or individually (extra driver, GPS, child seat, the usual stuff...)

Because the prices are lower than the other agencies they tend to be sold out in advance, I once forgot to book ahead of time and when arriving at the airport in Warsaw they told me that they didn't have any cars available in the entire city. They'll bring the car to you if you prefer, I think there's a small fee for that.
They have offices throughout the country and at multiple locations in the larger cities.
