Put the car on axle stands.

Do not park up with the handbrake on.

disconnect the battery also..
Don't park it up without washing the road salt of of it first but also don't put it away straight after washing it.
Take it out for a blast on a dry day and then park it up with the handbrake off.
Mine's been in the garage, unstarted since November when the TAX ran out.
Slid into it this weekend and it fired up on the button.
Suppose I'd better think about getting it MOT'd for the summer.

Could also get a battery tricle charge / maintainer also crack the windows to let air circulate if possible otherwise you may find mold everywhere when you get back.
