Has the car actually been sitting idle for multiple years? If so there’s a risk of one or more brake calipers being frozen up. Not much you can do in advance but something to check ASAP. You can always have a rebuilt caliper shipped in overnight if necessary. I would definitely take it easy on the brakes to start, and if it pulls under braking that might indicate a caliper that isn’t deploying and is frozen in the bore. Might also consider a brake bleed if tools permit.
