Being "too late" is redundant. Late is late.
It would be ironic if she had refused the ride for want of being able to afford it, only to find out it had been free the entire time and would have gotten her to her destination before whatever implied event expired.

No, because many instances allow for someone to complete a task "late." "Too late" is a situation where there is no possibility of completing said task.
Example: you get to work "late" and they dock you a portion of your pay or make you work late to make up for it.
Example 2: McGyver is about to diffuse the bomb when it blows him and his friends up.
One is late. Two is too late.
