If what you are doing doesn't work why not change tactics?
It's been my experience that once they reach the teen years yelling at them does no good at all. If anything, they know they scored one on you.
Next time they need a ride, smile sweetly and tell them you are too busy cleaning up the kitchen. And maybe you'll be available another time when there aren't so many other things to do.
