taxicab
Hired car with driver
A taxicab is an automobile for hire, typically summoned on the street or at a stand, that takes passengers to a destination for a metered fare.
Usually shortened to taxi or cab: We grabbed a cab outside the hotel.
Yellow taxicabs are iconic in New York City.
The taxi- comes from taximeter, the device that calculates the fare.
