Nice of you to help them out. I always try to do the same with touring cyclists. Just last week I read in another forum of a couple who were starting their tour in my town. They were foreigners and didn't realize the route they'd take to the coast from here is quite dangerous. I offered to give them a ride past the dangerous part, which they accepted. It was a 180-mile round trip for me, but I met some nice folks and rested a little easier knowing they weren't going to get creamed by a logging truck on a shoulder-less switchback.
