Taxi Rennes → Dinan
Your Rennes → Dinan transfer at €105–€130. 55 km via the N137 and D794.
A taxi between Rennes and Dinan costs between €105 and €130 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 55 kilometres and a journey time of from 45 to 65 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N137 then D794, with no tolls (Breton expressway). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €170. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Dinan is one of France's finest medieval cities, perched on a rocky promontory 75 metres above the River Rance. Its 2.6 km of perfectly preserved ramparts, 15th and 16th-century half-timbered houses, cobbled streets and imposing ducal castle make it a jewel of Breton heritage. The Rue du Jerzual, cobbled and steep, links the upper town to the Rance port in a spectacular descent lined with art galleries, weavers' workshops and artisan shops. Dinan's port, on the Rance, is a peaceful haven with waterside restaurants, pleasure boats and the railway viaduct spanning the valley at great height. The Fête des Remparts, held every two years in July (even years), is one of Europe's largest medieval festivals, attracting 100,000 visitors in period costumes. Taxis from Rennes are used by heritage tourists, Rance valley hikers and Rennes locals on Sunday excursions.
Route
Route Rennes → Dinan
Your driver takes the N137 towards Saint-Malo for about 30 km, then branches onto the D794 at Québriac. The D794 crosses the Breton bocage, a rolling landscape of hedgerow-bordered meadows, oaks and beeches, with granite hamlets and slate roofs. You arrive at Dinan from the north, with a striking view of the ramparts and keep from the road. The driver drops you at the Place du Guesclin car park (at the foot of the castle) or at the Rance port as you prefer. The journey takes 45 minutes normally and can reach 1h05 in summer during the Fête des Remparts. The entire route is toll-free (departmental roads and Breton expressway).

Specific tips for the Rennes → Dinan route
The descent down Rue du Jerzual is unmissable but the cobbles are steep — wear comfortable shoes. The rampart walk (2.6 km, free, 1h) offers exceptional views of the Rance and surrounding countryside. Dinan castle (€6) houses a local history museum with a 14th-century keep. The Rance port is ideal for lunch: Le Cantorbéry and La Fleur de Sel are good addresses. Rance river cruises (Compagnie Corsaire, €20, 2h30) sail down to Saint-Malo — a magnificent experience through wooded cliffs and manor houses. The Dinan market (Thursday mornings, Place du Guesclin) is one of Brittany's liveliest, with local produce, cider and crepes.
