taxi passenger

Hired car occupant

A taxi passenger is someone riding in a taxi as a customer rather than driving it.

The term distinguishes riders from drivers in contexts where the distinction matters—insurance claims, traffic regulations, or news reports: The taxi passenger was uninjured in the collision.

In everyday speech, people more often say passenger in a taxi or simply describe taking a cab.
