Check the fuel level matches the contract before you drive off.
Decline duplicate insurance at the desk if you already have excess cover. Bring proof of your policy.
Allow extra time: the shuttle ride is about 5 min each way, plus waiting.
Check the closing time (07:00–00:00 daily). If your flight lands late, call the desk: some wait, others close on time.
