Cost to Ship an SUV or Minivan
Mid-size SUVs and minivans run roughly 10 to 15 percent above sedan rates. They take more deck height, so carriers plan them into the top rack or lower spots deliberately.

- Remove roof boxes and bike racks — added height can push you into an oversize rate.
- Fold third-row seats and empty the cargo area; loose weight is not covered by cargo insurance.
- Most SUVs still ride open; enclosed is worth it mainly for luxury or lifted builds.
