This is called a car and the vast majority have one.

Ride-sharing is actually less luxurious than your own car. It's still shared transit, designed to lower costs and increase affordability by pooling resources and increasing total utilization. It is not meant for only the wealthy.

I got by with taxis for the last 9 years before moving back to the states.
