Purchase a Volvo, Get a Vacation

Take a vacation where the souvenir is part of an unforgettable experience. Purchase any new Volvo within the Volvo Overseas Delivery Program and you'll discover a truly unique way to buy a car, as well as a truly unique way to travel around Europe. Here’s what’s included:

• A free first class hotel night in Gothenburg, Sweden
• Savings off the U.S. MSRP on U.S.-model Volvos (varies by model)

How does Overseas Delivery work? It's this simple:

ONE: Order the Volvo of your choice from Culver City Volvo.

TWO: Pick up your new Volvo at the Gothenburg Factory Delivery Center or at any official delivery location in Europe.

Convenience is a fundamental part of our Overseas Delivery program. So, when it’s time to take delivery of your new Volvo, you have the option of picking it up from the Gothenburg Factory Delivery Center or one of 11 other delivery centers located throughout Europe.

Free Delivery
Pick up your new Volvo from the Factory Delivery Center in Gothenburg and delivery is free of charge. Transportation to the delivery center is also provided free of charge, whether you are arriving from the airport, city center, the ferry terminal, or your hotel. Many of our customers recommend spending the first night at the hotel and take delivery the next day being fully rested.

Other Delivery Centers
You can pick up your new Volvo from any one of 12 delivery centers throughout Europe. However, while vehicles picked up at the official delivery center in Gothenburg are completely free of additional delivery charges, those picked up from other locations will incur the following costs*:

Changing Pickup Dates
If your plans change, and you would like to pick up your car at a later date, you must contact your Volvo retailer. If you do not notify your Volvo retailer concerning delivery date changes, your car will not be ready for delivery in Europe. This will help avoid any unnecessary delays. You will find your pickup date on the order confirmation form you receive from the Overseas Delivery Office.

Please note: A power of attorney is not accepted when picking up an Overseas Delivery car at any of the delivery points.

*Charges are subject to change without notice.

THREE: Test your Volvo out on the roads of Sweden, either with one of our spectacular tours or on your own. Then head anywhere you please in Europe.

Overseas Delivery is specifically designed to make driving your Volvo in Europe as easy as possible. Registration, insurance, servicing - it’s all taken care of. All you have to do is cross the t’s and dot the i’s.

Leaving Sweden
When you leave Sweden for Denmark or the Continent, you can go on to the Stena Line ferries which is a comfortable and relaxing way to ease yourself into your European vacation. Or you can enjoy your new Volvo all the way to continental Europe by taking the Oeresund Bridge. The bridge connects Sweden with Denmark and is about 5 miles long. This makes it the longest cable stayed main span bridge in the world for both road and rail traffic.

Registration
Since you will be taking your new Volvo out for its first drive, you will need to have it registered. To make this process as effortless as possible, your Volvo retailer will help you fill out the European vehicle registration form when you order your new Volvo. Once that's done, you can leave the rest to us.

Swedish Resident?
If you are, or have been, a Swedish resident, you will need to fill out an additional application.* You must also provide proof that you live outside Sweden for more than 6 months out of a year.

*Does not include military personnel.

Swedish Traffic Signs
Safety is at the heart of everything Volvo does. Service
Whether you're exploring country roads in the south of France or testing out Germany's autobahns, you're probably not far from a Volvo service center. If your Volvo needs service or repair, simply show your service book and warranty at any Volvo-approved service facility to cover the work.

6-Month, Unlimited Mileage, Worldwide Warranty:
The factory warranty on cars sold through the Tourist Program is valid in Europe for 6 months and comes with unlimited mileage.

U.S. Specification Warranties:
While national warranties vary from country to country, in accordance with local laws and regulations, we do our best to ensure that you are always covered to the fullest extent possible. For instance, the remainder of the U.S. four-year limited warranty will be honored when your Volvo is back in the U.S.

Volvo Assistance Europe
If you're unfortunate enough to catch a flat from a rusty nail on one of France's beautiful country roads, you need not worry. When you order your new Volvo through the Overseas Delivery Program, you receive Volvo Assistance Europe, our roadside assistance program, free. We are at your service 24 hours a day at no extra cost, for three years from your European delivery date.

Benefits of Volvo Assistance Europe:

FOUR: Drop off your Volvo in Gothenburg or any official drop-off location in Europe. We'll ship it to your authorized Volvo retailer and take care of all the paperwork involved when importing a car, from excise taxes to import duties.

The Volvo Home Shipment Program makes bringing a car back from Europe quick and easy. All you have to do is drive your Volvo to any of the 20 official Home Shipment Agents throughout Europe and present us with the Volvo Home Shipment voucher (plus any other required documents). We then ship your Volvo to your U.S. retailer.

Free shipping from Gothenburg
The Volvo Home Shipment Program handles most of the charges. In fact, shipping is free of charge as long as it happens within two/six months of pickup in Europe. You only pay to transport your Volvo from your preferred drop-off point to the final loading port. Or you can use the transport services from Gothenburg and pay nothing at all.

Important:
For Tourists the Volvo Home Shipment Program is only valid for 2 or 6 months, depending on where you drop the car off.

In accordance with European customs regulations valid as from July 01, 2009 all Tourist cars must be exported from Europe (EU) within 6 months from delivery, provided the exportation is done from Sweden (includes our drop off locations Gothenburg (SE), Stockholm (SE), Drammen (NO) and Copenhagen (DK)). When using our other drop off locations (outside Scandinavia) the export declaration must be done when you take delivery of the car, which limits your use of the car in Europe to 2 months.

Please see the Volvo Home Shipment Brochure for transport charges, payment methods and currency for each Home Shipment Agent. Appointment must be done with the Home Shipment Agent 4 days in advance. Your local Home Shipment Agent is available to answer any questions you may have.
