As for the drivers asking how much do you usually pay, it's a ploy to get more money from you. All prices have to be listed in the car along with the price per mile. I always check the mileage when getting in a taxi and pay for the mileage used not what they think they can get away.

Were I stay they need to pass a test for the local area before they get a licence though they do use sat nav when going further afield. To the point about cost if they are not metered which unlike my local ones are I use the tariff I am familiar with based on the mileage done.
