OP here. Cheaper, I think. Less wasteful. I already know the number by heart. Why wouldn't you transfer? it's not hard (as long as there's no problem with the "class" issue).

Thanks to the PP who said they should be the same class.

What is the benefit of transferring tags? Just get new ones. Much simpler.

Odyssey is a passenger vehicle. It's on a regular CUV chassis, not a truck chassis.

I have gotten conflicting information when calling the MVA in MD and asking about transferring tags from the minivan that we're selling (Odyssey) to the sedan that we're buying (Prius).

Are they the same vehicle "class," in which case a tag transfer is permitted, or not?

This graphic from the MVA's website is not helpful, since I don't know whether the Odyssey is considered a "van" or a "passenger vehicle". (class 3 vs class 2)

If anyone's done this before, please let me know your experience; thank you.
