You did the right thing.

If it were me i would have just told him "man, normally i would have no problem with it but im busy with some other stuff right now."

doing someone a favor is ok

doing someone 10 favors and you end up getting walked all over.

Its like the sign over my wife's desk at work reads "I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day... tomorrow is not looking good for you either."

sometimes you just have to say no, that doesnt make you a jerk

If it's only 10 minutes by car then it still can't be that far, tell him to walk, will do him good!!

All's well that ends well!

And even for all the best relations with mates, you have to be careful not to let people trample over your own plans and your own life. I sadly let my brother do that, and I certainly don't recommend it to anyone
