SUV-specific coverage gotchas
Most SUV policies don't need rideshare riders unless used commercially. Pickup-style oversize-vehicle endorsements typically don't apply (the SUV insurance class line stops at <8,500 lbs GVWR).
Discount stack: Multi-vehicle + good-student discounts stack best on SUV policies because they skew family-household. Verify your carrier extends the multi-driver telematics discount to SUV trim levels — some exclude the larger trims.
