Ways to tell them apart:
- A chauffeur usually operates luxury or private vehicles, often for hire; think of chauffeurs as professional drivers.
- Drivers can be anyone who operates a vehicle, from trucks to bicycles, and are not necessarily hired for their services.
- Chauffeurs typically cater to the needs of their passengers, while drivers focus mainly on the task of driving from point A to B.
- Chauffeurs might be associated with formal occasions and wearing a uniform, unlike a general driver.
- Remember, all chauffeurs are drivers, but not all drivers are chauffeurs.
