The Malone RunWay 3 Bike Rack # MPG2142 will fit your Hyundai Santa Fe. This is a more entry-level economic bike rack that will get your bikes to where you are headed. The lack of anti-sway cradles concerns me for just one bike but especially 3. Even with the included straps your bikes will move around a lot potentially damaging your bikes and/or Sante Fe. This bike rack is fine for short trips but not so much for longer ones. With that being said there are more secure options available.

The Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT is the most popular Trunk Mount Bike Rack and for good reason. You get a high quality bike rack at a friendly cost effective price. Thule puts a lot of effort into designing and testing all of their products. The added anti-sway cradles will cut down a lot of the movement your bikes would have if you put them on the Malone rack. I attached a video below about it below.

I would also get a bike adapter bar for any women's, children or alternative frame bikes. You can get the Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT if you want the brands to match but the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005 does just as good of a job at a more economical price.
