| 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:
Towing to the nearest Volvo workshop in the
event of an accident
The use of a rental car
Certain travel and
accommodation expenses
Free transport to the workshop to pick up your car
Assistance obtaining cash from your bank account
And more Bringing Home Your Volvo
| 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.
