Taxi vs. car rental




I have a fairly late arrival in PRN (19:00) and early departure afterwards (09:00). My Hotel is also in central Prinzen, which Google Maps estimates at a 30 minute walk to and from the conference venue each day. 

I saw the info that taxi's from the airport are pretty easy to obtain, but relatively little info about transportation to the venue or within Prizren, as well as how easy it would be to get a return airport transfer to PRN early in the morning (assuming I need to be at the airport 2 hours before departure, I will need to leave Prizren around 06:00). So, I am wondering if there is more info somewhere (or general opinions from locals) about renting a car vs. just using taxis (or local buses?) the whole time. It's actually relatively difficult to find information online (at least in English language) about car rentals and driving around Kosovo for foreigners. Most of the results either seem like low-info content mills, or warn me that I will instantly die falling off a decrepit mountain road filled with sheep and angry Balkan drivers. Similarly, other than the taxi information for leaving the airport, I couldn't find much info of the cost and speed of booking taxi's for local travel once I get to Prizren. 

I have a US drivers license and IDP, and it appears I can book a car at PRN for a reasonable daily cost on a corporate rate, with insurance included. I'm comfortable driving in city and highway traffic, at least on US roads.  I'm mostly looking for input which option would be easiest for the week for travelling to and from the airport and conference venue each day.
