Hiring a car will be very expensive. The subway (called Airport Express or AREX) runs right from the airport to the central city, and with a good map and a subway card you can get around town easily.

Agreed with SingObserver. Don't hire a car and take the train from the airport to downtown, I would say go to hongdea area. And if you have time visit the old palaces too.

Hiring a car and driver is a bad idea. It's expensive and might be very slow and frustrating in traffic jams. Metro is the best way to move around.
Finding a place to eat is never a problem in any city of South Korea. Plentiful of korean restaurants in any part of the city.
