  Imagine:
  u r (a late 40s man) going to borrow your relative's Toyota Corrolla for a day from 9am to 8pm..
  what would you do?
  I mean, just borrow & say "thank you" at the end of the day?
  Or say "next time, i treat you dinner!"
  
  Or?

  borrow and return with full tank of petrol irregradless of how much petrol he have had in the fuel tank when u borrow from him. (even if its almost empty) and most importantly return at or earlier then the time u says u will return.

  One more thing maybe you can do is to go car wash before returning. Also, another indirect way of payment if he lives in HDB is to buy parking coupon for him.
  
  Not sure what are the other ways of indirect payment to make it nice.
