Ibiza’s Driving Education Leader: Autoescuela Residencial Sets New Standards in 2025
For those pursuing a driver’s license in Ibiza, one institution continues to dominate the landscape of automotive education. According to newly released 2025 statistics from Spain’s General Directorate of Traffic (DGT), Autoescuela Residencial has maintained its position as Ibiza’s undisputed leader in student approvals for the fifth consecutive year – a record unmatched since official records began in 2020.

By the Numbers: Dominance Confirmed
The DGT’s comprehensive data reveals Autoescuela Residencial achieved a remarkable 22% increase in successful examinations compared to 2024 results. The institution now accounts for more than double the number of passes compared to Ibiza’s second-ranked driving school. At the Balearic Islands level, the school ranks fourth overall – an impressive feat given Ibiza’s smaller population compared to Mallorca.
Community Engagement & Student Support
Beyond examination results, 2025 saw significant community initiatives. The driving school maintained sponsorships with local sports institutions including:
- Ibiza Volley Club
- Penya Esportiva Sant Jordi
- Ibiza Rugby Club
- Rally teams competing in Pujada a Sa Cala
A standout educational program emerged through the ‘Mestral Drives 2025’ initiative, bringing driving instruction directly to Mestral school students. This innovative approach helps sixth-form students obtain licenses before university entry.

Innovative Educational Pricing
The school’s selective discount program rewards academic achievement directly – multiplying a student’s university entrance exam (EvAU) score by 10 to determine euro discounts on enrollment fees. Their Black Friday promotion offered unprecedented 50% reductions, enhanced by celebrity appearances from Messi impersonator @clonmessi and local personalities Adrián Cardona and Jesús Rumbo.

Historical Recognition & Team Expansion
On International Women’s Day, the school honored Lourdes Marí Tur – Ibiza’s first licensed female driver (1959) – with commemorative events celebrating transportation equality. This historical awareness complements institutional growth:
Personnel & Equipment Growth
Three new instructors joined in 2025, expanding the team to 20 professionals (15 teaching staff, 5 administrative specialists). The fleet now features a Piaggio Beverly automatic motorcycle for A2 license training, simplifying progression to unrestricted Category A licensing. Radio personality Pocholo and television figure Bosco Blach Martínez-Bordiú promoted this advancement.
