Do a search on the tandem list on starting and stopping.

There is a "method" that we use, but I don't have time to describe now. But you should find it on the list. That's where we got it from.
Communication is key on a tandem.

Talk a lot . . . and then talk some more. It usually works best for the stronger and heavier rider to be in front. It takes a lot of strength to hold up a tandem or control it in sudden manuevers.
What type of tandem are you renting? Just a townie or mtb to do some slower speed rambles might be good for the first time out since your DH isn't as experienced.

You see them but only with smaller partners -- for instance, MP and PP, V and her Cinderella partner.
