Driving 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.

For more information please visit www.oeresundsbron.dk.

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. To make your visit to Sweden as safe as possible, we've created a downloadable guide to Swedish road signs.  Download these signs.

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.
