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 a very exciting update for Overseas Delivery.
Over the years, hundreds of Volvo owners have participated in the program.
Here’s what’s included:
Two round-trip tickets with Scandinavian Airlines
A free first class hotel night in Gothenburg, Sweden
Savings off the U.S. MSRP on U.S.-model Volvos (varies by model)
Free shipping to your U.S. Volvo dealer
How does Overseas Delivery work? It's this simple:
ONE: Order the Volvo of your choice from Robinson Brothers Volvo. TWO: Pick up your new Volvo at the Gothenburg Factory Delivery Center or at any official delivery location in Europe. 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. FOUR: Drop off your Volvo in Gothenburg or any official drop-off location in Europe. We'll ship it to your local retailer and take care of all the paperwork involved when importing a car, from excise taxes to import duties.
Still need convincing? When you purchase any new Volvo through our Overseas Delivery Program, you'll receive a variety of added incentives. View the Overseas Delivery Brochure here.
If you're a tourist, a diplomat, or in the military, you can have your new Volvo delivered to any one of 13 European destinations, drive it during your stay there, and then have it delivered to your home in the U.S. after you return. If you're an expatriate, you can only purchase a U.S. specification Volvo for direct shipment to the U.S.
Another great advantage of the Volvo Overseas Delivery offer is the possibility to fully customize your car*. This means that colors, wheels, interiors, inlays, etc. previously only available in Europe are now also available on your custom ordered Volvo Overseas Delivery car. Select one of the links above for more information.
*Certain limitations apply, see dealer for details.

Once that's done, you can leave the rest to us.

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.
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.
