We used Gett a few times while in Israel earlier this year. While the service uses licensed taxis, the ordering and payment process worked exactly as it does with Uber or Lyft. Payments were automatically processed via the app and I promptly received detailed receipts in the app and by email as soon the the rides were over. IIRC, the cost of a ride from TLV to the airport was a set price.
