The Trip of a Lifetime Plus a New Volvo

Online, May 27, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Volvo Cars of North America's Overseas Delivery Program has escalated to the number one European overseas delivery service. Volvo is offering buyers a chance to see where their car comes from. Volvo was born in West Sweden and is still rooted in Gothenburg where most of their cars are manufactured. It starts when consumers order a Volvo car from their local authorized Volvo retailer. Volvo gives the buyer two complimentary round-trip airline tickets to Gothenburg with Scandinavian Airlines. The buyer can then fly to Gothenburg with a friend and pick up their new Volvo directly from the Volvo factory. The car comes with insurance for 15 days and the protection of the Volvo On Call Service. Volvo also offers a free first class hotel night in Gothenburg, Sweden. Once the new owner has their car, they can then go on a road trip to test out their new vehicle and explore Europe. Volvo has several themed tours that buyers can participate in, or they can explore on their own. Once ready to leave, they can drop off their car, and Volvo will ship it to the United States to your U.S. Volvo retailer for free. Volvo will take care of excise taxes and import duties.

Volvo is also offering a chance for consumers to win this type of dream vacation. From April 1 through July 1, people can visit the website and register for a chance to win a vacation in West Sweden and Skåne. On the website, consumers can create their dream itinerary using the site's trip planner.

Julia Allison of NonSociety.com exclaims, "I can't wait to bring my readers along with me as I venture into Sweden to learn more about their food, culture, and heritage." The U.S. Director of VisitSweden, Lotta Thiringer, explains, "West Sweden and Skåne are hidden gems among tourist destinations.
