Fuel stabilizer can be of significant value. I use Sta-Bil for all of my equipment. Pour into the tank, top off the fuel and drive for a few miles.
Check the anti-freeze protection point/freeze point.

unless you are willing to drive it weekly enough to get to full operating temperature, do NOT start it every week. Remove the battery and place it on a trickle charger and over inflate the tires to the maximum pressure on the side wall just to make sure you dont get flat spots, most modern radials will not.

Search the forum for remedies to keep the rodents out of the car. Don't forget the water in the washer resevoir. MAke sure it's good for below freezing or drain it.
