The Taxi Driver side mission requires the player to drive passengers to specific locations within a time limit for a cash reward. The side mission is triggered by entering a taxi and pressing the side mission button.

In the GTA III era games the player can earn money by delivering pedestrians to their predetermined destination within a time limit. Starting the mission lights up the taxi's roof-mounted taxi sign encouraging nearby pedestrians to flag the player's taxi down. Once a pedestrian enters the vehicle, the destination is displayed on screen and is marked by a blip on the radar and a colored marker at the destination itself. The alloted time given is calculated roughly from the distance to the destination, and an additional 30 seconds is granted upon completing a fare to find another one. If the player runs out of time, exits the vehicle or damages their vehicle too badly, the passenger will flee, ending the mission. In GTA San Andreas the taxi side mission has much less strict time limits, but adds a "tip meter" which rewards players for delivering fares quickly and safely and punishes them for driving recklessly or taking too long.

In GTA IV, Niko Bellic can perform the taxi side mission by phoning Roman Bellic for fares.
