You’re going to get critters inside if left in a driveway.
I would store it somewhere that is kept rodent-free annd climate -controlled. Also, check with your insurance as you could drop collision since you won’t be driving it.
If you have a military base near by you’ll find storage options. Also look for rv storage facilities as they probably store normal vehicles too.
If you store it outside and put a car cover on it you’ll come back to lots of small scratches in the paint and rodents.
A bar of Irish spring in the engine bay will take care of most of the rodents, just don't forget to remove it before driving.
EDIT: Make sure to jack up the car to remove the weight from the tires, and disconnect the battery.
That soap trick will not work.
