Livery
A licensed for-hire vehicle service that carries passengers by prior arrangement rather than street hail. Livery vehicles are regulated by a city or state commission, which licenses the base, the vehicle and the driver.
Black car
A premium pre-booked car service using dark luxury sedans or SUVs with professional drivers, often billed to corporate accounts. In some jurisdictions black car is a separate license class from other livery.
Chauffeur
A professional driver employed or contracted to drive passengers in a car service vehicle. Chauffeurs often need a commercial or for-hire license, and service standards cover dress, door opening and luggage handling.
Meet and greet
A pickup in which the chauffeur waits inside the terminal or lobby, often with a name sign, and walks the rider to the car instead of waiting at the curb. It usually adds parking and waiting time to the fare.
Hourly (as directed)
A booking in which a car and driver are reserved for a block of time and go wherever the rider directs, billed by the hour, often with a minimum number of hours. It suits events, roadshows and multi-stop days.
