My parents are buying my '05 Elantra Hatch and I will be driving it
from NY to Fla where it will sit for 6-8 weeks. What should I do so
that it will start up and run when they arrive?

Northing.

If everything is in good condition, it should just start right up. Worst
case scenario is a trickle charger on the battery.

It probably isn't needed for 8 weeks of storage, but I'd still get a
small bottle of Stabil and treat the gas per the instructions before
storage. And I'd consider also a trickle charger per Ed's recommendation.
