Taxi Saint-Malo → Rennes
Your Saint-Malo → Rennes transfer at €145–€175. 75 km via the D137.
A taxi between Saint-Malo and Rennes costs between €145 and €175 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 75 kilometres and a journey time of from 50 to 70 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes D137, with no tolls (Breton expressway). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €230. 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.

Saint-Malo is one of Brittany's most iconic cities, a fortified corsair stronghold whose granite ramparts stand proudly against the Atlantic and some of Europe's most powerful tides — up to 14 metres during equinox spring tides, a natural spectacle that draws visitors from around the world. The intra-muros, enclosed by imposing walls rebuilt after 1944 wartime destruction, harbours a maze of cobbled lanes lined with 17th and 18th-century shipowner mansions, witnesses to the golden age when Malouin corsairs — Surcouf, Duguay-Trouin, Jacques Cartier — ruled the seas. The Emerald Coast, stretching from Cap Frehel to Pointe du Grouin, owes its name to the striking green colour of its waters. Taxis from Saint-Malo to Rennes serve tourists connecting to the TGV, business travellers, holidaying families and cruise passengers arriving at the Cite d'Alet terminal.
Route
Route Saint-Malo → Rennes
From Saint-Malo, your driver leaves the corsair city via Porte Saint-Vincent and takes the D137, a completely toll-free expressway heading south through the Malouin countryside. The landscape is the Rance country — rolling green bocage dotted with granite manors and slate bell towers. After about 20 km, you spot Combourg Castle on the right, the medieval four-towered fortress where Chateaubriand spent his adolescent years. The road then crosses the Hede-Bazouges plateau, where the eleven locks of the Ille-et-Rance canal can be glimpsed. Arrival in Rennes is via the northern ring road, serving the TGV station, historic centre and university districts. The journey takes 50 minutes normally and up to 1h10 on Friday evenings or summer peak departures.
