Additional data point: I can afford the cab myself (especially as it would save so much cost in other things such as time and pain), I don't spend much on say foreign holiday travel. But people tend to say "but but but your employers should pay it! It's wrong for you to have to! Anyway you're so disabled the government should be paying for this!" and that depresses me.

And life is being depressing enough without the help of well-meaning friends, yes.
I have nothing to offer but sympathy (lots) and the advice to take the strongest meds you can lay hands on (lots) during the trip, as it seems to save no end of trouble later.

And there's comparative economics. I know some friends who would think that was an enormous amount of money and it's outrageous that I should throw it away on a taxi and surely there must be some other cheaper way if only we could think of it, and others who might think it's chickenfeed and would fix the problem immediately and why am I even asking.

Cheers!

I come somewhere on the middle of that. I'd rather spend the money on other things, but if it makes it possible to do something that is important to you that you otherwise couldn't, then that's what money is for.
