A blessing disguise :)

She's probably not allowed to date unless her parents meet you first. I know that was the rule in my house. It means her parents love her and she respects them and their wishes.
So, if you want to date her, you'll have to meet the parents. Put on a nice outfit, be respectful, and don't worry about it too much. Parents were kids once too. ;)
I am just really nervous, I don't want to do anything to offend her parents, or worse, her. Should I get somekind of gifts to them?
Sure
Just be yourself. Let them know that you're a nice guy, that you'll respect their wishes and will have their daughter back at a reasonable hour. Let them know where you're taking her. If you have a cell phone then give them the number so they can check up on her. Also ask for their number so you can call them in case something happens.
As for a gift. No. That's not necessary. You're just taking their daughter out on a date. Just dress nice, make sure you're showered, clean, hair brushed, matching socks on, shoes polished. But most important, be yourself.
Okay?
Everything that Alty said to you is gold... take her advice...
As a parent and someone who actually started dating too soon I would say that being polite and courteous are very important.
Be very respectful, even saying 'sir or ma'am' when addressing he parents. When they enter the room, stand up, it shows respect... but don't forget to sit back down.
Be aware of your cleanliness and don't use too much after shave or cologne. Get a haircut before you meet them and even polish your shoes... yes.
When they speak to you listen carefully and pay attention. Answer clearly and don't mumble. And make sure that you are looking at them when you speak to them.
They may ask you some questions; 'how are you?' 'Where do you live?' 'how did you meet my daughter?' 'Where are you two going tonight?' Etc...
Be prepared to answer these questions. And a hint, ask her a little bit about her parents first before you visit. This will help.
First impressions are important... but relax... do the above but you can relax by telling yourself that it really won't be that bad at all.

Im not going to be able to take her anyware, my method of transportation scares them, so I am going to be having dinner with them.
Terrific... no expense on your part hee hee... kidding Tib... kidding.
The talk to her about the things that interest her parents. Talk to both of them too not just one... Try to keep the conversation going, silence may make you somewhat nervous. Ask them questions... about what they like to do for a hobby/s, where does he/she work? What do they do there? etc.
