Interesting question. I don't know enough to be able to answer. Don't want to lead astray if I'm wrong. For sure the Jew can't ask you to do it for him. But perhaps..... I don't know.

I don't think you're allowed to do so. There's a question and answer about this topic on the website yeshiva.org.il, but the Rabbi doesn't explain his answer.
Dear Yeshiva.org.il,
I have read the previous question and answer on this topic, but I still do not understand the Rabbinic prohibition. Putting that aside for a moment, I have an individual questions: I live 3 miles away from shul, and as we’re a very small community there’s only one service every month. Now, I could walk to and from shul, but I find this very tiring, it is very mundane (meaning that it reminds me of weekday by walking along a road I commute along every day), and it’s not really making Shabbos much of a ’day of rest’. So, in these circumstances, is it not permitted for me to have my friend drive me to and from the synagogue?
Answer:
No, it is not permitted.

No but that is different because the Jew would be asking his friend to do so.
Not the same situation.
The One and Only Mo:
--- Quote from: Dan ben Noah on August 29, 2009, 09:48:51 PM ---I need an orthodox Jew to answer: Is a non-Jew allowed to offer a Jew a ride in his car on the Sabbath? I am permitted to drive to shul since I am a Noahide, but I have seen Jews walking before in the summer heat with black hats and suits on, and I was just wondering if it would be proper for me to offer them a ride. I've turned lights on for them before that they forgot to turn on before Shabbat, so I thought maybe I could do this.

NO! I appreciate the thought though.
