It can depend on the number of horses attached to the chariot. Contrary to depictions in dreadful Hollywood movies, the Romans only used chariots in two situations:
Four-horse chariots (quadrigae) were used in chariot-races for public entertainment. Two-horse chariots (bigae) were used by triumphal Emperors or generals in their processions through Rome.
So:
quadriga = a four-horse chariot
biga = a two-horse chariot
Latin also has the words currus and curriculum as general terms for chariot.
