What to know before your transfer at Rennes Airport (RNS)
Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Rennes Airport (RNS).
Meeting point at both terminals
Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit holding a name sign. Both Terminal A and Terminal B feed into the same ground-floor exit on the public forecourt.
No tolls or hidden charges on the route
Zero road tolls exist between Rennes Airport and the city centre. The Low-Emission Zone compliance fee and all local charges are included in your fixed price—no extra costs.
Door-to-door time to city centre
Typical journey is 15–20 minutes in normal traffic via D834, D177 and N136 ring road. Peak hours (07:00–09:00 and 17:00–19:00) may extend this to 25–30 minutes.
French VTC professional licence
All Transfeero drivers hold valid VTC (Voiture de Transport avec Chauffeur) professional cards, meeting France's strict private-hire standards and emission-zone requirements.
Transfer insights for Rennes Airport
Rennes Airport operates a single terminal building with two distinct check-in and arrivals areas: Terminal A serves Air France, Lufthansa, easyJet, Brussels Airlines and KLM, while Terminal B handles Ryanair, TUI fly Belgium and Eurowings. Both feed into a shared ground-floor arrivals hall where passengers collect baggage and exit to the public forecourt. Your driver meets you at the arrivals baggage-hall exit holding a name sign, a process monitored in real time if your flight is delayed; the driver will also track any terminal changes at no extra cost.
The drive from Rennes Airport to the city centre spans approximately 8 km via the D834 and D177 northeast, merging onto the N136 ring road and continuing down Avenue Charles Tillon into town. In normal conditions, the journey takes 15–20 minutes door-to-door, though morning rush hours (07:00–09:00) and evening peak (17:00–19:00) can stretch this to 25–30 minutes. The N136 ring road is the primary bottleneck during these windows; off-peak travel is notably faster and more predictable.
Rennes introduced a Low-Emission Zone (ZFE-m) on 1 January 2025 within the N136 ring road boundary. All vehicles entering central Rennes require a Crit'Air sticker; Transfeero partners hold valid French VTC (Voiture de Transport avec Chauffeur) professional cards and comply with all emission standards. Critically, there are no road tolls on any route between the airport and Rennes, and all local charges—including any emission-zone compliance costs—are bundled into your fixed Transfeero price with zero hidden fees.
Taxis queue outside the terminal but often face 20–40 minute waits during peak arrivals, with unpredictable metered fares (typically €18–25 to the city centre). Public buses (C6 and Route 57) charge €1.50 and take 20 minutes but require navigating unfamiliar stops with luggage. Trains depart from a station 15 minutes' walk from the terminal and run only a handful of times daily. A pre-booked Transfeero transfer eliminates queues, guarantees a professional driver fluent in your language, offers a transparent fixed price, and provides door-to-door convenience—essential when travelling with families or heavy luggage.
