Volvo car insurance
Volvo is Sweden’s most famous car manufacturer, and is known for making some of the safest cars on the road.
Established in 1927 by Assar Gabrielsson and Gustav Larson, their goal was to produce a car able to stand up to the rigours of Sweden’s rough roads and cold temperatures.
Now a long way removed from their old boxy designs, Volvos are at the forefront of bold new styling, cutting-edge technology and safety features.
