Autokuljettaja

Autokuljettaja is a Finnish term that translates to "car driver" or "chauffeur." In its most common usage, it refers to anyone who operates a passenger car. This can range from individuals driving for personal reasons to those employed for professional driving services.

Professional autokuljettaja services often involve transporting individuals or groups for a fee. This can include taxi services, where drivers are licensed to pick up and drop off passengers upon request, and private hire services, which might be booked in advance for specific journeys. These drivers are typically expected to possess a valid driver's license and often undergo background checks and specific training depending on the service provided.

The term can also encompass a broader sense of someone who drives a car as part of their job, even if passenger transport isn't the primary function. For example, a delivery driver or a company car driver might also be referred to as an autokuljettaja. The specific responsibilities and requirements for an autokuljettaja can vary significantly based on the context and the nature of their driving duties.
