Design Your New Volvo Vehicle

Visit our dealership in San Antonio, TX, to customize your ideal Volvo model. Once you've designed your vehicle's interior, exterior, and technology specifics, you'll only need to pay a $6,000 deposit.¹ Principle Volvo Cars San Antonio will submit your order to the Volvo Cars team in Sweden, where they'll get to work building your dream car.

Plan Your Travel

An Overseas Travel Concierge will reach out to you soon after submitting your order.¹ They will coordinate your flights to and from Sweden, as well as your hotel stay, food, factory tour, and access to an exclusive World of Volvo exhibition.

Start Your Adventure

Once you arrive in Sweden, a Volvo Cars representative will pick you up from the airport and bring you to your pre-arranged hotel. Expect VIP treatment and transportation for your entire visit, as well as exciting opportunities to view iconic Volvo vehicles and prototypes that never reached the market.

How Much Does Volvo Overseas Delivery Cost?

The cost of the Volvo Overseas Delivery depends on your desired customized model. Your airfare to and from Sweden, along with accommodations and meals for one, two, or three nights, are complimentary from Volvo Cars as a thank you for your vehicle purchase.¹ You will be required to pay a $6,000 fee at our San Antonio, TX, dealership,¹ which will be applied toward the purchase price of your new model.

How Long Does Volvo Overseas Delivery Take?

Just like anything that's created from scratch, building your unique Volvo vehicle to your precise specifications will take time. We suggest placing your order at our dealership approximately four months before you'd like the car to be delivered.

Keep in mind that you'll be flying to Sweden for your complimentary World of Volvo vacation toward the end of that waiting period. A portion of the four-month estimate also includes your vehicle's Europe-to-North America travel time, which usually ranges from six to 13 weeks.

Occasionally, factors outside of our dealership's and the brand's control may affect the production and delivery time of your order. Feel free to discuss your overseas delivery preferences and timeline expectations with the team at our Volvo dealership.
