I accepted once due to rainy weather, the other two times due to laziness. We spoke once briefly last year when we were at the same pub watching a football game with our spouses; I don't think either one of us knows the other's name. He seems normal enough (I'm not getting any Ted Bundy vibes), but I mentioned this scenario to my friend and he was horrified and thinks this guy clearly wants a different kind of ride.
Thoughts? Are people ever just nice?

If it’s after, he was probably just being friendly since you were someone he knew.
If it’s before, and you were just a random woman- my guess is he wouldn’t offer a random man a ride.
After, but by a few months. I'll chalk it up to just being friendly then. I tend to cynically not believe folks are nice for no agenda.
Does he think you’re single?

Did you introduce him to your spouse "as the nice guy who gave your a ride" and tell his wife what a great guy he was to give you a ride in the rain?
