to give someone a ride

Hello,
Here's some context:
Jack: (knocking on the door).
His mom: Hello, Jack. Oh, where's your sister?
Jack: She's still in the bar, but her friend will give her a ride/lift home.

Does it sound odd to you? Can we also use "...bring her back", "...driver her back (home)? What do you think?

Thank you
