Keep photos and spec on file so you can send or e-mail on request.

Make sure you are properly covered by insurance to the agreed value of your vehicle for film hire.

Don't be too precious about the odd scratch. Expect some damage.

Make sure the battery is strong and that the engine is running properly and not overheating. It will need to start on the button (or crankhandle) and may be left idling for long periods.
