my girlfriend invited me to go on a San Antonio trip with her and her daughter this summer, she said her husband had already booked the room. I was more than welcome to join them if I wanted to go just let her know. I asked her if she was flying or driving, she responded driving and said that she could drive my truck and she started laughing. so I played it off and I told her I would let her know if I was going or not. so she text me Sunday night to ask me if I was going to San Antonio with them this coming weekend, I responded, I said I thought you said this summer. she says you're right let me check the dates and I'll let you know Monday morning. well to make a long story short the trip is actually the next coming weekend the 13th 14th and the 15th, I said yes I'll go ahead and go.
 
my question is would I be wrong if I tell her no I don't want to drive my truck?! I don't mind going in on the room & I don't mind paying half for gas. but if this is your trip that you already had plan, why should I have to drive my vehicle? so would I be wrong if I tell her no I don't want to drive my vehicle?

I don't think it would be wrong to say no. Seems kind of rude to invite someone on a trip and then expect them to provide the transportation. What was she going to drive if you didn't go with her? 4951

You're close enough with this person to stay in a hotel room with her husband and child...but not close enough to tell her flat out that you don't want to drive? It's not that far of a drive. Is there a reason you don't want to drive? 4951

Depends on the circumstances that prompted her to suggest taking your truck.....maybe their vehicle isn't as comfortable, dependable, etc....if she's a close enough of a friend to stay in a hotel room with, surely she's a good enough of a friend to be able to ask why she wants to take your vehicle..... 4951

@noel Okay great, glad I wasn't thinking wrong. She was going to drive her vehicle.... I just don't want to go and she be nice nasty because I'm not allowing her to drive my truck.... Not to mention this is a time share that her and her husband have not that it matters. but if I was planning a trip and I invited her and I knew I was driving all along I will not expect her to drive or even kid around that I wanted her too.... 4951

@taramay: I really don't have to go, but if I invited someone to join me on a trip I already had planned and was driving anyway, I wouldn't ask them to drive.... But thats just me, I know we don't all see eye to eye on things...

Inviting someone along on a trip, then asking them to provide the transportation, is like inviting someone out to dinner, the asking them to pay. 4951

I guess if she was picking up the room costs I would volunteer to drive.  This sounds like she wants a cheapy vacation with you picking up a chunk of the tab. 4951

This is unusual. I wouldn't go at all. At this point though she may get mad cause you already said you'd go. Ugh. Between a rock and a hard place. 4951

I would be tempted to not even go. Sounds like she's just using you for your truck, and she couldn't even get the dates right in the first place. Something just seems off. Then again, I'm not always the most trusting of people, so who knows lol. If you go, I hope all ends well. If you don't go, I hope she doesn't get mad and cause drama. 4951

let's get something straight here, I don't have a problem telling anybody NO! my question was would I be wrong when I do say NO! me on the other hand I don't think I would be wrong in saying no because its not my trip to begin with. but to invite someone on a trip and then you asked them to drive their vehicle rubs me the wrong way because I wouldn't do it.
 
If me and her were sitting around and said, hey let's plan a road trip, then that's different because this is something me and her are planning to do together... Then by all means I would have no problem taking my vehicle.... But hello this is something you already had planned and invited me to.
 
thanks everyone for your two cents 4951
