ITV collection & return in Sant Joan

How it works in the Sant Joan municipality

The north is the Ibiza of fincas, dirt tracks and winding roads, and that is exactly why taking the car to the ITV eats up half a day. We collect in Sant Joan de Labritja village, in Portinatx, in Sant Miquel de Balansat and its port, in Sant Llorenç de Balàfia, in Sant Vicent de sa Cala and in Cala Sant Vicent, and take the car to the Consell's station in Santa Gertrudis, the closest one for the whole municipality.

If your finca sits at the end of an unnamed track, send us the Google Maps pin for the gate on WhatsApp plus a landmark (a carob tree, a stone wall, the mailbox number on the main road). We arrive with time in hand and, if you like, use the trip to pick up a parcel or do a shop on the way.

Drive time from Sant Joan to the ITV

From Sant Joan village to Santa Gertrudis is about 20–25 minutes down through Sant Llorenç. Sant Miquel is 12–15 minutes along the Sant Miquel road, which runs straight to the station; Sant Llorenç 15; Portinatx and Port de Sant Miquel 30–35; Sant Vicent and Cala Sant Vicent 35–40. Traffic is not the issue up north: cyclists in spring and the slow car in front are, so we leave with plenty of margin.

A car collected in Portinatx for an 11:00 slot is usually back in its spot by around 13:30. If you can choose, mid-morning is ideal: we avoid the early-morning start and the station runs with less delay than at the end of the day.

What we need from you

The appointment (date and time), the registration document, the technical card and valid insurance inside the car, and the keys. Many houses in the north are seasonal lets or looked after by an agent: we can pick up the keys from a key safe, at the agency or from the neighbour who minds the finca. If the car has sat for months, start it the day before and check the lights and tyre pressures; a tyre cracked by the sun is a certain fail.

Price: €89–129 VAT included

We charge €89–129 including VAT; the ITV fee (€28 for cars, paid at booking since August 2026) is separate. Sant Miquel and Sant Llorenç, a quarter of an hour from Santa Gertrudis, with a mid-day slot are €89. Sant Joan village and Benirràs come in at €109, and Portinatx, Port de Sant Miquel, Sant Vicent and Cala Sant Vicent at €129, as do slots before 8:30 or waits at the station well beyond half an hour. We always confirm the figure on WhatsApp before collecting.

If the inspection comes back unfavourable

You have two months to fix the defects and go back, and if you return within seven working days with minor defects there is no new fee. We can leave the car at a garage in Sant Joan, Sant Miquel or Santa Eulària as a driver service (€40–60/h, two-hour minimum) and repeat the run for the second inspection at the same per-trip price, so you never have to come down twice.
