Taxi Dol-de-Bretagne → Rennes
Your Dol-de-Bretagne → Rennes transfer at €115–€140. 60 km, direct route.
A taxi between Dol-de-Bretagne and Rennes costs between €115 and €140 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 60 kilometres and a journey time of from 40 to 55 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes D795/N137, with no tolls. A van for up to seven passengers starts at €185. 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.

The Dol-de-Bretagne to Rennes journey crosses the heart of Ille-et-Vilaine, linking the former episcopal city of the Breton Marches to the regional capital. Dol-de-Bretagne was for centuries the religious centre of Brittany, seat of an archbishopric founded in the 6th century by Saint Samson from Wales. Its Cathedral of Saint-Samson, built between the 13th and 16th centuries, is an imposing monument rivalling the great cathedrals of northern France. The Grande-Rue des Stuarts preserves a remarkable alignment of half-timbered houses from the 11th to 15th centuries — one of Brittany's oldest and best-preserved streets. The Menhir du Champ-Dolent, a 9.50-metre granite monolith at the town gates, is one of Brittany's most famous megaliths. The journey passes through the Combourg area, with its castle where Chateaubriand spent his childhood, and past the eleven locks of Hede-Bazouges on the Ille-et-Rance canal. The taxi is used by TGV travellers connecting onwards, professionals and tourists exploring northern Brittany's megalithic and medieval heritage.
Route
Route Dol-de-Bretagne → Rennes
Your driver leaves Dol-de-Bretagne southward on the D795, crossing the Ille-et-Vilaine countryside. You leave the Dol marshes and enter the inland Breton bocage — gentle hills of pastures and hedgerows with dairy cattle. You pass near Combourg, dominated by its four-towered medieval castle where Chateaubriand spent his childhood, drawing on the melancholic experiences that filled his Memoirs from Beyond the Grave. After Combourg, the road joins the N137, a dual carriageway linking Saint-Malo to Rennes. You cross Hede-Bazouges, known for its staircase of eleven locks on the Ille-et-Rance canal, a 19th-century hydraulic feat linking the English Channel to the Atlantic via inland waterways. The N137 then continues to Rennes through a green periurban landscape. Arrival is from the north, providing direct access to the TGV station and historic centre. The journey takes 40 minutes normally, up to 55 minutes during rush hours.
