uber driver
Rideshare vehicle operator
An Uber driver is someone who uses the Uber rideshare app to transport passengers for pay.
The term extends loosely to drivers for similar services like Lyft.
Uber drivers use their own vehicles and work as independent contractors rather than employees: My Uber driver took a weird route but got me there on time.
