chauffeur

Do you pay someone to drive you around? Then you have a private chauffeur.
Chauffeur literally means "operator of a steam engine" in French, but they used it as a nickname for the first motorists who drove steam engine cars. Today chauffeurs are just the guys you pay to drive you around, like the chauffeur of a limo. Chauffeur can also be used as a verb: once you get your driver's license, your parents will be happy to not have to chauffeur you back and forth to school.
WORD FAMILY
chauffeur: chauffeured, chauffeuring, chauffeurs
