Obviously part of it is because he wanted to drive her home, but also to figure outconfirm her social status by knowing if she lived in a well-off neighborhood. The Park family wants even their servants to be better off than the average person. For example, Mrs Park is hires "Jessica" to be her sons art therapist because she believes her to have been educated in Chicago, and cousin to "Kevin", who is a friend to Da-song's previous tutor Min-hyuk.

Min-hyuk admits at the beginning of the movie that Ki-Woo is better at English than he is:

MIN-HYUK: Ki-Woo, think about it. How many times have you taken the college entrance exam? Twice before your military service and twice after -- a grand total of four times. Grammar, vocabulary, composition, speaking. You’re an English master. Far more qualified as a tutor than I am. Better than those spoiled college brats who drown their brain cells in booze everyday. (link to the script)

He acknowledges that the Park's care just as much as their tutors status as his actual skills.

KI-WOO: That may be true but-- You think the family would accept me? I’m not even a college student.

MIN-HYUK: We’ll embellish a little. You’ll be fine. You’ll have my recommendation.

Min-hyuk knows that the Park's won't look too closely into Ki-woo's (faked) credentials if they come along with his personal recommendation.

Although the brief introduction doesn't give him too much information to work on, from context clues he can derive that she is well-off enough to be fluent in English and well-connected enough to find her way into the Park's service.

Ki-jung asks to be dropped off at Hyehwa station, which from a ten second glance at it's Wikipedia page, is located in an area that attracts many vibrant, young people. After taking a look at the script, which states

Ki-Jung’s cold demeanor intrigues Yun instead of putting him off. He’s attracted.

I agree that @Mr_Thyroid's answer of the driver being attracted to her does hold some weight. It is likely that the combination of his sexual/romantic interest in her, his general interest in her living situation, and his training as a driver that make him so persistent in wanting to take her all the way home.
