Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a woman to ride in a car alone with a non-mahram driver for the purpose of being taken to religious classes?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for a woman to be alone with a non-mahram, neither in a car nor in a house nor in the open, due to the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)
A man is not alone with a woman but the third of them is Ash-Shaitan.ما خلا رجل بامرأة إلا كان ثالثهما الشيطان

So she must not ride alone with a non-mahram in a car, even if you are going to a class or to prayer, it is not permissible for her to do so, or to visit a relative or otherwise, it is not permissible, this is seclusion. Yes.
