I could understand how you feel - but maybe his parents really don't have the time to drive him, so they can't return the favor and it makes them feel better to give it to you. If they really didn't want to, they wouldn't have. I know if it were me I would feel better reciprocating in some way. I may not offer cash, but a gift, or gift card or something. I think it was a honest gesture, and not accepting it may make his parents feel bad.
You could always just mention something like what you said, that you appreciate the gift, but it's no problem driving him to school so they don't have to feel like they should pay for some kind of inconvenience.
