To refuse to give a colleague a lift to/from work?

A colleague at work, I'll call her Kate, gets a lift 4 days a week with another colleague, Jen. Jen doesn't work Thursday, but both Kate & I do.

I've given Kate a lift on several occasions but I find it awkward as she's not all that talkative & I'm a very chatty person.

We did some training last week & I was in the same team as Kate, she barely acknowledged me, let alone spoke to me.

We saw each other at work today (we're in different teams day to day) and she half smiled at me. Fast forward to after work & I get a text from Kate asking for a lift tomorrow morning.

AIBU to have replied saying I'm unable to offer a lift at the minute? I feel like a dick, but also, I don't want awkward journeys in my own car.

Morning, everyone. We just wanted to pop by with our usual reminders about posting within Talk guidelines. Things seem to be getting a bit personal in places here and it's taking the OP's thread off track. If everyone could refrain from name-calling and personal comments within the thread we'd be very grateful.
