Out of all the cabs in all the city, the Hero, his significant other, or another important person will invariably get on the one that the villain is driving. If they're particularly alert, they might notice they aren't headed to the park before the villain reveals himself and uses Knockout Gas or locks all the doors from the front of the vehicle. (They never notice before they enter the car.)
As anyone who lives in a large metropolitan area can attest, cabbies and people looking for a taxi are aggressive and a dime a dozen; so the odds of a Villain or his Evil Minions catching their target without another cab swerving in ahead of them, or having a pushy fare cut in front of the victim, are particularly slim. This is also ignoring the possibility of the intended target biking, busing, taking the subway, metro, getting a friend to pick them up, or just plain walking.
This trope is named for the less common but more iconic scene where the target's personal driver is replaced by the villain, leading to a "You're Not My Driver" quickly followed by a one-liner from the impostor and some knockout gas or a gun to the face. It often comes with the added implication that the poor driver is lying face down in a ditch somewhere. This method is more believable than taxi-napping a victim, since the target invariably comes to the villain but still slightly odd because nobody ever notices this until after they're in the car.
This trope is not necessarily limited to taxis and limos either, but also planes, boats, and even zeppelins. A particularly nasty variation has an ambulance full of apparent paramedics turn up who are actually bad guys there to finish off the survivors.
See also Sinister Car, The Taxi, Fridge Logic, Gambit Roulette. Harmful to Hitchhikers is a related trope, in which a person is victimized after accepting a ride from a stranger.

In The Pendragon Adventure, this happens so many times to the protagonists (in various forms), that at one point a character hails a cab, opens the driver door, grabs the cabbie, and says "Does this guy look familiar to anyone?"

Sherlock:
This happens to the title character in the series two finale. After getting in the first cab he sees, he's treated to a video of Moriarty explaining his plan like something out of a kid's fairy-tale. He gets out of the cab, runs to the driver's window — and sees Moriarty, who quips "No charge" and drives off. Made especially glaring, because the series started with an adaptation of "A Study in Scarlet": Sherlock really had a good reason to pay specific attention to cabbies. Then again, Moriarty is portrayed as just that good at foiling Sherlock...
A heroic variant, which could be called "Not My Executioner" at the end of "A Scandal in Belgravia", after Mycroft informs Watson that Irene Adler has been captured and beheaded by a terrorist cell in Pakistan. In order to spare Sherlock, Watson tells him that Irene is in witness protection in the US. Holmes then sees the last text message sent to him by Irene, and we see a flashback to her execution. She's on her knees in a burqa, typing out the message before her phone is taken away. An executioner walks up with a sword... and she hears the ringtone for herself that she has put on Sherlock's phone (a woman moaning). The next words from the executioner are "Run when I tell you".

Parodically subverted in The Third Man. Holly thinks his cabby is abducting him and is working for the conspiracy because he Drives Like Crazy, obviously isn't taking him to his requested destination, and doesn't answer any of his questions. The guy's really just driving him to the lecture he was scheduled to do (and is extremely late for) and doesn't speak English.

The Pretender:
In "The Paper Clock", Jarod employs someone to replace a corrupt lawyer's limo driver to get him out of the way so he can track down evidence to bring down a killer and free an innocent man who was framed for the killing.
Jarod also does this himself, replacing one of the regular villains' (Mr. Lyle) limo driver so as to kidnap him and get information out of him regarding a mass murderer who had escaped justice and was trying to find asylum in the U.S.

In the first Missing in Action movie, Chuck Norris hails a taxi, but the driver is a Vietnamese agent who grabs a .45 hidden in a newspaper on the seat next to him and tries to shoot Chuck, who throttles him to death instead. After Chuck exits the taxi, a young couple get inside and ask to be taken to their hotel.

Twice in The Big Hit:
As part of the kidnapping plot, Melvin replaces Keiko's limo driver; he reveals himself when he shoots her asshole boyfriend who's trying to rape her.
Zig-zagged at the end; when the car slows down, Keiko thinks the driver might be Melvin, and is disappointed when she sees that it isn't. It's Vince, one of Melvin's "co-workers". And then Melvin opens the door and climbs in next to her.

Heroes:
Inverted with Mohinder Suresh, one of the protagonists, who funds his research into finding super powered people by driving a cab. Bennet, The Dragon and the series' Magnificent Bastard, attempts to ambush Suresh by posing as a fare. Ironically, Suresh also taxis Peter without ever knowing he's one of the people he's looking for.
Sylar kills Mohinder's father, Chandra, in his own taxi.
The Suresh taxi seemed to have some sort of magical gravity: any time any main character ever needed to go anywhere in New York, they'd end up in Suresh's taxi.
At the start of Volume 4, a government agent pulls a gun on Mohinder in the aforementioned ill-starred taxi and tells him to "just drive". Mohinder responds calmly, "It's your dime," as if being menaced on the job is so routine for him at this point, sarcasm has replaced fear.

In the cartoon "Baseball Bugs", the dirty Gas House Gorillas need a home run to win the game. The batter knocks Bugs' first pitch clear out of the park. Bugs flags down a cab, telling the driver to "follow that ball!", but the cab screams off in the wrong direction. It's being driven by one of the Gorilla's players, and according to the posted driver credentials, it really IS his cab.
In "Hare Do", Bugs tries to evade Elmer by thumbing a ride, but it turns out that Elmer is driving the car.
In "The Unmentionables", special-agent Bugs is taxi-napped by Rocky's gang in this way as he leaves FBI headquarters.

DC Animated Universe:
Batman: The Animated Series:
There's an episode where the Joker impersonates the helicopter pilot of Cameron Kaiser, a one-shot character, to try and kill him.
Also happens to Bruce and Summer Gleason in "Night of the Ninja", where they wind up getting in a cab driven by Kyodai Ken, an old rival of Bruce's who wants revenge for Wayne exposing him as a thief back when they trained under the same master.
Superman: The Animated Series: Lana gets into a car, thinking she is being driven by Luthor's usual assistant... "Sorry. No Mercy tonight."
In the Batman: The Animated Series/Superman: The Animated Series crossover, Lex Luthor's usual driver (Mercy Graves) is waylaid and impersonated by Harley Quinn, so The Joker can meet with him. The comic adaptation adds in a bit of dialogue humorously implying that the real Mercy was taped up in the trunk the entire time.
This also happens in Justice League Unlimited, with the hero of the episode, The Question, posing as a cabbie in order to interrogate a mid-level mook. In a nice touch, a shot from the back seat includes a small photo of the driver, so that eagle-eyed viewers can see that the guy up front really is not his driver.
In the Justice League Action short "Missing the Mark", Mark Hamill gets into a cab which he soon realizes is driven by the Joker.

Saints Row:
One of the missions against the Vice Kings in Saints Row involves the player taking the place of their brothel mistress's limousine driver, and then driving her around town (and away from a Saints ambush) before she'll lead you to her home, where one of your friends is being held hostage.
Done three times in the optional assassination missions in Saints Row: The Third. One of the targets is a Morningstar lieutenant who will only come out if you pull up in a limo and pretend to be his chauffeur. Then, after the contact who gave you that target betrays you, you get revenge through another anonymous contact putting a hit out on him, telling you to lure him out by landing on his roof with a helicopter to pick him up. Much later, you get a target who must be killed in a way that doesn't draw attention to the Saints, so you have to pick her up in a jet which apparently has explosives planted in it, fly it high enough above the city, and then jump out so it can explode and kill her.

In the Discworld novel Making Money, Loveable Rogue Moist von Lipwig, despite knowing he has powerful enemies, gets into the first hansom cab that comes along, only to jump out the opposite door running like hell when it turns out to be a Honey Trap. Colon and Nobby are nearby to comment on his uncharacteristic Genre Blindness. Similarly, earlier in the book, he got into an unmarked black coach, on the assumption it was the Patrician's. It wasn't.

In Red (2010), the Vice-President and his Secret Service guards get in a limo marked with the Presidential seal while under fire. Cooper tries to warn them, but they don't listen as they think he just wants to escape with them in the armoured limo. Then one guard is knocked out when the limo stops abruptly, and the other is tazered by the driver, who is Moses. The VP then gets the same treatment.

A comedic variant was used in X-Men: Evolution: Kitty has just gotten her learner's permit and is eager to drive. Throughout the episode, Professor X obliges several different X-Men (Jean, Scott, Storm, and Wolverine) to take her driving — with near-disastrous results (she prefers to use her powers to drive straight through obstacles, rather than, you know, avoid them). At the end of the episode, Professor X asks "Logan" to drive back to the mansion, only to discover Kitty in the driver's seat. This is also a Brick Joke: Wolverine told Xavier that he would get back at him for making him to take Kitty driving.

Grand Theft Auto:
The original does this at least once. In one of the missions, you use a stolen ambulance to kidnap the District Attorney from the hospital.
In Grand Theft Auto III, you are tasked with following a taxi cab that your mark gets into. You can't get too close, or he freaks out. You can avoid this by stealing your own cab and pulling next to the mark ahead of time.
A reversal happens in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City where a rival cab company you've been violently running out of business impersonates a fare to lure you (as driver) into an ambush.
It is used again in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where the main character has to imitate the chauffeur of a recording artist's manager, in order to kill him by driving into the sea.
And twice more in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories: once with you pretending to be a union boss's chauffeur, and then an inversion of the series' norm when the Sindaccos kidnap Maria this way.
Grand Theft Auto V has the player perform this with a bus. Gets subverted when the target decides the bus fare is too expensive and steals someone's bike instead. The expected player response is to run the guy down with the bus.

James Bond:
Subverted by Bond in Dr. No, where a villain claims that Government House sent him to pick Bond up at the airport. Bond covertly phones Government House to find out the truth, and properly deals with the villain. Later Bond pulls a variation by calling for a taxi to pick up himself and Miss Taro, who finds a policeman waiting in the taxi to arrest her.
However, in the later Roger Moore Bond film Live and Let Die, Bond falls for this trick (in a taxi this time), though pretty much everyone in the city is in the pay of the Big Bad. Then he falls for it again, with the same driver.
Moore's Bond also had Blofeld send a phony helicopter to pick him up at the opening of For Your Eyes Only. Blofeld then kills the pilot and takes radio control so he can finish 007 off personally. Well, try to, anyway.
Bond pulls this trick on M in Skyfall when he abducts her for her own safety after the attack on Westminster.
Variation in Goldfinger, one of the mobsters that opts out of participating in the climactic big heist thinks Goldfinger's chauffeur is taking him to the airport. He realizes too late that he's actually being taken to a "pressing engagement" with a scrapyard car crusher.
Another variation in A View to a Kill. Bond is being chased on horseback through the woods by the Big Bad and his mooks, but then sees his car being driven along a nearby road. As the chauffeur is a fellow British agent, Bond rides desperately towards it, only to find the chauffeur has been murdered by The Dragon, who's now driving the car.

Done three times in the optional assassination missions in Saints Row: The Third. One of the targets is a Morningstar lieutenant who will only come out if you pull up in a limo and pretend to be his chauffeur. Then, after the contact who gave you that target betrays you, you get revenge through another anonymous contact putting a hit out on him, telling you to lure him out by landing on his roof with a helicopter to pick him up. Much later, you get a target who must be killed in a way that doesn't draw attention to the Saints, so you have to pick her up in a jet which apparently has explosives planted in it, fly it high enough above the city, and then jump out so it can explode and kill her.

In the Big Finish Doctor Who audio drama "The Crimes of Thomas Brewster", the Doctor and Evelyn, having been questioned by the police in relation to a new London crime gang run by a man called "the Doctor", are then told MI5 wants to speak to them and put into a police car. The driver of the car then tells them, in a very London Gangster voice, that they aren't going to MI5 at all. It transpires that he works for a rival gang and has also mistaken the Doctor for the crime boss of the same name.

Parodied in The Venture Brothers. Not only does Dr. Venture not notice his driver is the 8-foot gray-skinned guy with a metal jaw he went to college with, but he doesn't even notice when Phantom Limb begins gloating about the kidnapping over television screen (he's too busy listening to his Walkman). Fortunately for Dr. Venture, they put the knockout gas in the front seat. Later in the same episode, Dr. Venture gets into the same cab with the same poorly disguised driver — and no, he still doesn't notice.

Atomic Blonde. When Lorraine flies in to Berlin, she's met by two men at the airport who tell her that Percival, the MI6 station chief, is late and sent them. She only realises that they are KGB after getting into the car (Percival is following them, having seen what happened) so gets into a fight and crashes the car. Except we later discover Lorraine is a KGB double agent and they were just trying to make contact with her. The KGB agents are understandably confused when she starts attacking them to maintain her cover.

The assassination attempt on Colonel Kudasov in The Elusive Avengers: Crown of the Russian Empire combines this and Danger Takes a Backseat. First, Kudasov boards a taxi driven by an agent of Monsieur Duc, then the taxi stops briefly and two more agents board the backseat.

One of the missions against the Vice Kings in Saints Row involves the player taking the place of their brothel mistress's limousine driver, and then driving her around town (and away from a Saints ambush) before she'll lead you to her home, where one of your friends is being held hostage.

Another variation in A View to a Kill. Bond is being chased on horseback through the woods by the Big Bad and his mooks, but then sees his car being driven along a nearby road. As the chauffeur is a fellow British agent, Bond rides desperately towards it, only to find the chauffeur has been murdered by The Dragon, who's now driving the car.

The Equalizer. In the Batman Cold Open of "No Conscience", Robert McCall is helping a cab driver being shaken down by hoodlums. McCall refuses payment as always, but asks for the cabbie's card as he might come in useful. Sure enough later on in the episode he's helping the Victim of the Week to a cab, apparently unaware she's planning on making a deal with the villains...until McCall exchanges a Meaningful Look with the cab driver, who's the same man he helped earlier.

Batman once impersonated the limo driver of a woman who nearly got away with two murders by playing on the Riddler's ego. She only noticed something was amiss when she realized the limo wasn't going to the airport. (Detective Comics #822). He does this again in Superman: Red Son.
Earlier than both these instances, he (and Robin) pulled this with the Mad Hatter's prison transport - only it was the transport shipping a (supposedly) rehabilitated Hatter back to Gotham, so our heroes weren't up to anything more elaborate than warning him to stay on the straight and narrow.

In Eraser, the Big Bads are leaving the courthouse in a limo, talking about the apparent deaths of the protagonists, only to realize that neither of them is responsible for the car bomb. They suddenly stop at train tracks, and the doors lock. The driver runs away, revealing him to be Johnny, a friend of Kruger's. They then get a call from Kruger, who faked his and the girl's deaths. After saying his catch-phrase ("You've just been erased."), he watches as they "catch a train".

Girl Genius: Gil Wulfenbach, at one point, manages to fend off an army of deadly clanks, on his own, with the help of a weapon that may or may not have been useless junk and a very, very good poker face. Afterwards, he nearly collapses, mostly from relief, (and from multiple bullet wounds) and a few Jägermonsters arrive just in time to prop him up and steer him off the battlefield. They have a conversation that goes on for a good five minutes before Gil's powers of observation kick in.

He later poses as the driver of Theodore Long, who had been involved in a reenactment of the Montreal Screwjob (with the Undertaker being the one who got screwed over).
In 2001, he caught Triple H and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin by surprise when he hijacked an ambulance taking Austin to the hospital.

Indiana Jones:
In Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, the plane Indy, Short Round, and Willie board to escape Shanghai mobster Lao Che is owned by Lao Che, so he promptly signals the pilots to parachute out and let the plane crash.
An accidental version occurs in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Indy knocks out the driver of a Nazi staff car at the fortress and hauls him out, then jumps into the driver's seat, planning to steal the car. However, before he can take off, two Nazi officers climb in the back seat and, assuming he is their driver, tell him to drive on, and Indy has no choice but obey while attempting to keep the train carrying the MacGuffin in sight.

In The Battle of Algiers the ambulance version of this trope is implied when one commandeered by the rebels drops off some dead French gendarme at a busy public area of the French quarter. The rebels in the ambulance go on to have a rampage across the district before being stopped. It is one of the signs that things in Algiers are going From Bad to Worse.

An accidental version occurs in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Indy knocks out the driver of a Nazi staff car at the fortress and hauls him out, then jumps into the driver's seat, planning to steal the car. However, before he can take off, two Nazi officers climb in the back seat and, assuming he is their driver, tell him to drive on, and Indy has no choice but obey while attempting to keep the train carrying the MacGuffin in sight.

In the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic Flutterspy, this is how Fluttershy discovers the spy plot against the Equestrian Fashion Forum. While she and Rarity are headed back to the hotel, their carriage is hijacked by evil ninja Red Adder, who explains the disruption by claiming that the original driver is taking a break after almost running over a cat. ("Union rules. Very strict.") When Fluttershy recognizes her as a model for Rarity's rival designer Miss Worthy, she attacks, forcing supermodel-cum-spy Fleur de Lis to come to Fluttershy's rescue.

Doctor Who:
"Terror of the Autons": The Doctor and Jo are about to be lynched by carnies when the police turn up. As there are only two constables to contend with the crowd of carnies, the sensible course is to rescue the Doctor and Jo by taking the pair into protective custody. The Doctor notes it is unusual that the Brigadier has used his head for once and the constables aren't very talkative, the pair turn out to be the killer shop window dummies of the title.
Another old school case is the killer limousine driver who picks the Doctor up in "The Seeds of Doom".
"The Runaway Bride": Donna gets kidnapped by one of the evil robot Santas this way while the Doctor is trying to get fare money from an ATM.

The fake taxi version is used twice in A Most Wanted Man (2014). In the second case it's easier, as the person calling for the taxi is one of their agents, so he just calls them directly instead of the taxi company. They've also suborned the person who was originally supposed to pick them up.

Person of Interest:
In one episode, John does this to save the POI of the week, a sailor on shore leave that has been jumped by a couple of corrupt Marine Force Recons. When they put him in the trunk of the car, John, having replaced the member who stole the car a few minutes earlier, drives off before the others can get in the car.
Our introduction to Zoe Morgan has Reese replacing her regular driver in order to get close to her as this week's POI. Before she even gets into the car, Zoe rings the car service to check Reese's bona fides. Fortunately thanks to Finch's technical savvy he intercepts the call and provides enough details to allay her suspicion.

In Little Green Men, John O. Banion is in Palm Springs to make a speech, and is on the way to his hotel when he suffers Alien Abduction for the second time. He doesn't suspect that the driver (whom he saw on the operating table beside him) was part of the conspiracy that stages the abductions, though he does get annoyed that the car was a luxury sedan rather than the stretch limo clearly specified in his contract. The reason for this is that a helicopter couldn't lift a stretch limo into the air.

Done in the original Battlestar Galactica to trick Baltar into releasing some hostages. Though, to be fair, they had to do this, as Baltar demanded his centurions who were already disassembled. They manage to rebuild them, but they're still a bit faulty. As soon as he releases the hostages, he orders the centurions to launch. The pilot says "By your command" and punches a hole in the control panel. The Colonials then surround Baltar and take him prisoner again.

A slight variation from Anastasia, where Dmitri takes over for the Dowager Empress's driver, forcing her to see Anya. The variation here is that Dmitri is the hero, and simply trying to make amends for his earlier deception.

In The Sandbaggers, this happens to Wellingham on a routine visit to Brussels; he's suspicious when his regular driver doesn't show, but gets in his limo when the new driver shows him a set of proper NATO-issued credentials. Since the kidnapping turns out to have been masterminded by the West German government as part of a Batman Gambit to arrest a terrorist cell outside their proper jurisdiction, the credentials are probably even real...

Sherlock Holmes:
This is the entire plan of the Sympathetic Murderer in "A Study In Scarlet". He became a cabby so he could subtly follow his Asshole Victims around London in hopes of getting one of them alone. It ultimately works, though it seems rather far-fetched for all the reasons listed above; the one time his targets split up, one of them gets drunk and manages to take the murderer's cab.
A Genre Savvy Holmes ensures Watson does not fall victim to this trope in "The Final Problem". He even ensures that a driver (this one he arranged for) that Watson ultimately ended up with was Holmes's brother Mycroft.

The episode of Mission: Impossible "The Killer" (or at least, its remake) involved taking the villain to a bugged hotel. However, they didn't know in advance which hotel he would want to go to, so the first two cabs of the airport were crewed by IMF agents. The second cab slowlynote They purposely put obstacles on the road to buy time takes him to the the hotel that wasn't there yesterday while said hotel gets puts the name the baddie chose ("The Raeburn Hotel") on its front porch (and everything else).

In the first dream level of Inception the protagonists kidnap Fischer this way. Possibly justified in that they designed the place, so they could make sure theirs was the only cab available.

This happens at the end of Stormbreaker, the first Alex Rider book. Having stopped Herod Sayle and received exactly no reward from the people who blackmailed him into doing it, Alex walks out of MI6's secret HQ and into the first cab he sees. The driver? Herod Sayle. Alex only survives thanks to the guy's chief assassin turning on him.
