Here a good explanation for instead of and ...

Rather than vs Instead of

Instead of - suggests that one person, thing or action replaces another. Instead is not used alone as a preposition; we use the two words instead of.
Instead of is not usually followed by an infinitive.

E.g

1). I'll have tea instead of coffee, please.
2). I stayed in bed all day instead of going to work.
3). Amit was invited to the reception, but he was ill, so Akash went instead of him.

Note - Instead (without of) is an adverb. It begins or ends a clause usually.

E.g - She didn't go to Greece after all. Instead , she went to America

Rather than - shows preference. This expression is generally used in 'parallel' structures. E.g - with two nouns, adjectives, adverbs, infinitives or -ing forms.

E.g

1). We ought to invest in machinery rather than buildings.
2). I prefer starting early rather than leaving things to the last minute.

When the main clause has a to - infinitive, rather than is usually followed by an infinitive without to or -ing form.

E.g - I decided to write rather than phone/phoning.
Eu prefiro o carro preto do que o carro azul. I prefer the black car TO the blue car.
