Taxi Vannes → Rennes
Your Vannes → Rennes transfer at €220–€270. 115 km via the N166.
A taxi between Vannes and Rennes costs between €220 and €270 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 115 kilometres and a journey time of from 70 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes N166, with no tolls (Breton expressway). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €350. 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 Vannes to Rennes journey crosses the heart of inland Morbihan and skirts the legendary Broceliande forest, a key setting in Arthurian mythology. Vannes, with its medieval ramparts, marina on the Gulf of Morbihan and cobbled lanes, is one of Brittany's most attractive cities. Rennes, the regional capital, is a booming university and technology metropolis known for its historic half-timbered centre (Place des Lices, Rue Saint-Georges), its Lices market — France's second-largest — and its vibrant cultural scene (Transmusicales in December, Mythos festival in spring). Rennes station, a major TGV hub just 1h25 from Paris, makes it a strategic connection point for Morbihan travellers. The taxi is popular with business travellers heading to Rennes tech parks, university students, families connecting with TGV services and tourists wishing to combine a visit to the Gulf of Morbihan with exploring the Breton capital.
Route
Route Vannes → Rennes
Your driver leaves Vannes on the N166 towards Ploermel, a toll-free dual carriageway. The first kilometres cross the rolling countryside of inland Morbihan with its hedgerows, ponds and traditional granite farmhouses. You pass near Elven, where the medieval Largouet castle raises its imposing towers — the tallest medieval tower in France at 57 metres. After Ploermel, a former ducal town with its Saint-Armel church and Lac au Duc (250 hectares), the road skirts the southern edge of the Paimpont-Broceliande forest. Deciduous woods (oaks, beeches, chestnuts) stretch as far as the eye can see. The N166 then joins the N24 for the final kilometres into Rennes, arriving via the southern ring road before reaching the city centre or station. The journey takes 70 minutes normally and can reach 1h30 during Rennes rush hours (8-9am and 5-7pm).
