home depot and menards carry stretch wrap. they usually move it around so ask someone.

mini-van will have a lower load in for the back so i would go that route over an SUV (which will probably cost more).

in a town and country you can fit 4 people and a game.

bring extra cardboard too.

throw a sheet under the game if you are loading on an uneven or gravel surface. it makes it easier to turn the game around and adjust it for easier loading.

i lay a moving blanket in the van with cardboard between the game and the back bumper. then lean the game against the bumper and tilt it into the back. the cardboard should slide on the moving blanket.

good luck.

oh and fridge dollies (with the rollers to go up stairs) are just under 100 bucks at menards (or they were when i bought mine). you can pull a game up the stairs with one person (if you are a gorilla) but i reccomend one pushing and guiding and one pulling.

wrap the game in a moving blanket if you are worried about doorways/doorknobs etc.

That stuff is thinner than the clear industrial wrap.
