I'm every city there is seeing it and doing it.
You can take a segway tour to the prague castle and you have now seen it, or you can tour the massive interior and subsequently do it.

IMHO you don't really need one, most things are walking distance from each other or simple a short tram ride away.

I happen to be aware about that, but I want also head to Holesov (kaver of the shach) , kolin, Nikolsberg.

Automatic car rental, is no less than $300 for one day, unless perhaps you might know about something cheaper,+Gas+No parking in Prague,  it might be more practical to pay a driver.

So my plan would be, to take the bus or taxi to Prague, spend half a day in the city, take a driver to other locations and back to the airport.
