private driver

Hired personal motorist

A private driver is someone employed to drive for a specific person or family rather than the general public.

Unlike taxi or rideshare drivers who serve anyone, a private driver works exclusively for one employer: The CEO's private driver waited outside the restaurant.

The term suggests wealth or status—most people drive themselves.
