private car
Owned, not rented
A private car is a vehicle owned by an individual or family rather than by a company, government, or rental service.
The term distinguishes personal automobiles from taxis, buses, company vehicles, and other commercial or public transportation: Most commuters still rely on private cars despite expanded transit options.
In railroad terminology, a private car is a luxury railcar owned by an individual or corporation rather than a rail company.
