Volvo Overseas Delivery Program - How it Works
Through Volvo's Overseas Delivery Program, individuals guarantee themselves a free trip to Sweden with the purchase of a new Volvo car. Volvo provides two complimentary airline tickets to Gothenburg, where the customer picks up their new car directly from the Volvo factory. Then, they can head out on a European road trip and simply drop off the car and Volvo will ship it to the United States for free.
