Once the price is arranged over the phone, it's a verbal contract. There should be no need to verify the price with the driver.

If the driver charges more when you get to your destination, you simply state that the driver's employer quoted the price and pay that amount.

If they state that the taxi firm is not their employer, they are just the driver's agent, then inform them that your contract is with the taxi rank, not the driver. If he has a problem with the amount they quote, it's between the two of them - nothing to do with the customer.
