Taxi Redon → Rennes
Your Redon → Rennes transfer at €125–€155. 65 km via the N137.
A taxi between Redon and Rennes costs between €125 and €155 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 65 kilometres and a journey time of from 45 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N137, with no tolls (Breton expressway). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €200. 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 Redon to Rennes journey links the river town of southern Ille-et-Vilaine to the regional capital of Brittany, following the Vilaine valley, a river that has shaped the landscapes and history of eastern Brittany. Redon, a town of character at the confluence of the Vilaine and the Oust, is an exceptional river crossroads where the Nantes-to-Brest canal meets the navigable Vilaine. Redon's port, once one of the most active in inland Brittany for trading salt, timber and grain, retains its granite quays and warehouses converted into cultural spaces. The Saint-Sauveur Abbey, founded in the 9th century with a Romanesque bell tower featuring four corner turrets unique in Brittany, overlooks the historic heart of the town with its half-timbered houses and medieval lanes. Redon is also an important railway junction: its station, at the crossing of the Rennes-Quimper and Nantes-Brest lines, receives TER services from all four directions. The Nantes-to-Brest canal, a 19th-century engineering masterpiece, runs through the town and offers popular cycling and barge cruising in summer. Rennes, the destination, is a thriving metropolis of 450,000 with exceptional cultural life and an efficient public transport network including its automated metro.
Route
Route Redon → Rennes
From Redon, your driver takes the D177 then the N137, a toll-free dual carriageway forming the main axis between Nantes and Rennes. You leave Redon crossing the Vilaine, a peaceful river winding through the flood meadows of the Redon marshes — a wetland of major ecological importance, home to pike, otters and many migratory birds. The first kilometres follow the Vilaine valley, offering views of the river's meanders bordered by willows and poplars. The road then crosses the rolling countryside of the Redon area, with its bocage hedgerows, cider apple orchards and dairy farms. You pass through Bain-de-Bretagne, a small market town and road junction in southern Ille-et-Vilaine, known for its Friday market. After Bain-de-Bretagne, the N137 widens into a proper divided dual carriageway allowing smooth, fast traffic. The final kilometres cross the suburban communes of the Rennes metropolitan area before joining the southern ring road. The journey takes 45 minutes normally and can reach one hour during Rennes rush hours.
