Suggest you load up and go to a weighbridge and confirm you weight is ok.  Make sure the bikes are secure and cannot move around and you should be fine.

If it is padded and properly secured, your only problem will be whether you are overloaded.

I would put the bikes on the roof of the car.  Also keeps the van clear inside for stops en route.

Inside the van is the most fuel efficient place to put them.
