Volvo Car UK has begun taking bookings for its new test drive programme, Freedom, which allows consumers to book online up to two 45 minute drives.

In line with Volvo's ‘Designed Around You' brand strategy, potential customers, both retail and fleet, can log onto a specifically designed website (www.volvocars.co.uk/freedom) to book up to two, 45 minute test drives, at a time to suit during Freedom events at 13 locations around the UK.

Volvo has designed three different driving routes at each event, taking into account all different types of driving. When the driver books the test drive, he/she is requested to enter the type of journey they usually travel, thus allowing Volvo to recommend a specific route that encompasses their normal daily drive.

Each test drive is completely unaccompanied and takes place on public roads. Volvo Car UK actively encourage drivers to bring along what would normally be in his/her car, such as child seats, golf clubs and even the kids, to show which car is best for each individual’s needs and wants.
