This is the only real answer. They will begin calling you when they start trying to piece everything together. on the very first call inform them you will only provide support if they hire you as a consultant. Depending on how crucial your knowledge is to their success $200 hr, 4 hour minimum may not be asking enough.

If it is frequent but not frequent enough to drive every day there are better options. I traded in my Jeep Grand Cherokee for a Ford Fiesta and the money I am saving in gas actually pays the car note. If you just need a truck for a few days a month you could easily afford the rental fee in gas savings.

-Keep every e-mail.

This is a bacon saver right here. I would add
-get every verbal agreement acknowledged via email.
I can't count the number of times someone has agreed to do something then told me they never agreed to do it. With an email trail you may not get them to do what they promised but they can't stand there and deny they ever agreed to it. That can mean the difference between you or them when the hammer on a project falls. I learned this lesson by watching an incompetent engineer cost many of my peers their jobs by simply telling the manager the tech didn't do it the way he was instructed but instructions were gibberish and the techs had long since deleted them.
