No need to pick me up as I'll be arriving from elsewhere
No, I'm OK thanks. I won't be at my hotel before the dinner so I'll make my own way there
Well, it was very kind of this person to offer to pick you up, but sometimes we don't want to be pinned down to getting ready for a specific time, or as in your case, you are going to the restaurant from another location. Probably it is quite sufficient just to state that you do not need to be picked up without any excuse. However, if you wish to explain, then you may.
"That's okay" tells the person they don't need to worry about helping you. When you say "I have other arrangements already" they will understand that you don't need their help to get there. Also you can express gratitude for the offer by saying "thank you", but be polite and let them know you will be coming from somewhere else. That way they won't think you are just putting them off. Another quick way to respond is to say "I will just meet you there." It is simple and let's them know you already have arrangements to get there. You don't have to explain why.
"That's okay" は、相手に自分のことを助ける心配はしなくてもいいということを伝えます。
"I have other arrangements already"
すでにほかの手配があります。
ということで、そこに行く助けは必要ないことを理解してもらえるでしょう。また、 "thank you"ということで、感謝の気持ちを伝えることができます。礼儀正しく、他の場所から向かうことを相手に知らせましょう。そうすることで、 相手は自分を避けていると思わずに済みます。
別の簡単な返答は、"I will just meet you there." （そこで待ち合せしよう）と言うことです。シンプルで、相手に自分がそこまでいく手配ができていることを伝えます。どうしてかは説明する必要はありません。
