How to handle people constantly wanting rides?

Just bought a Yellow and black Transformers style 6th gen.

My work has training seminars weekly and sometimes we go to a bar after. Some coworkers im not fond of (who take the bus/ride their bike) constantly ask for a ride. I dont like them and dont want them in my car. But we go to the same place so i cant say the things when someone asks for a ride home from work (errands, not going that way)

How can i reasonably turn them down without removing all my seats? lol. the fact i cant say no (without sounding like a ***) and reluctantly drive them they see it as something they hold over me its not the fact they cant get there on their own. but i hear them deciding who is going in my transformers car before they even ask me...

Say the car is a gas hog and they have to chip in for gas bus or bike riders will cringe at that

Tell them no

Why do you care about their feelings

Pretty simple problem imo

hard to say ask for money (especially when its not far) or flat out say no without being the office d*ck.

if only i went for the vette a single box on the passenger seat is all id need. anything I could reasonably carry in my car all the time (that i can toss in the trunk later) to take up my passenger seat? so that way i dont need an excuse to say no. can say its not possible

Get some empty boxes and place them inside the car and in the trunk. When they ask you for a ride, just point to the boxes and say "Sorry...I don't have any room in my car right now."

Like already said, just say no. Some times in life you have to be a dick. Who cares about their feelings? They don't care about yours, otherwise they wouldn't ask you for rides all the time and offer nothing in return. F'ck em. Use this as a lesson learned, if you continue to allow this to happen people will continue to abuse you and walk all over you but if you stand up it wont happen near as often.

Don’t worry about what co workers think, you are there to make money and benefits. If you make some friends along the way great, but when you leave most of them will never call you to say hi

I have a neighbor who is always asking me for a ride in the car. For 18 months now, I have told him over and over the same same thing, come by the house with a 6 pack of beer and I will take you out. So far no beer, no ride.

I would eat a lot of gassy food before hand and let some some ripe stinky ones rip the whole time they're in the car.
