OT- prepping car for daughter at college

Just to be upfront, my daughter doesn't have a Corvette but I thought
since this group has a bunch of car enthusiasts, they might still be
willing to help another car owner (I hope).  

She wants to take her small car (corolla) to college which is about 2
hours from home (in Austin, Texas).   She isn't too car inclined so I
want to prep the car for the moderate winter there and mild spring.
Actually the car is in near mint condition (4k miles on a 2004 model
and garage kept to date).  I think the only things I want to do is
check fluids (maybe change oil, check belts and fluids, check tires,
change battery).   I was thinking of getting her AAA member****p in
case.  Her car will be kept outside under a metal covered roof at an
apartment complex.  It is insured presently just for liability (I
think $500 ded).

Any other ideas or thoughts?    thanks all.
