Brittany Coastal Van Trip

10 days along the Brittany coast

Brittany is the French region best suited to a coastal van trip: jagged peninsulas, wild north-facing beaches, lighthouses perched on rocky islets and crêperies at every turn. This itinerary completes a full loop of the peninsula in 10 stages, from the windswept headlands of Finistère to the standing stones of Carnac, passing through the ramparts of Saint-Malo.

The real budget for 10 days

Allow around €970 to €1,730 for 10 days, for two. This budget covers three items only: rental, diesel and nights (one campsite night each evening). Food, restaurants, the Belle-Île ferry and visits are extra. Prices checked in October 2026.

Van rental: from €61 per day, and €112.65 per day on average for a van hired in Rennes (Wikicampers, checked 30/10/2026): €610 to €1,127 for 10 days. Expect the top of the range in July and August.
Diesel: €2.331 per litre on average in Finistère, €2.364 on average across France, as of 16 October 2026 (Selectra). For 850 km at 9 to 11 litres per 100 km (our estimate for a van): €178 to €221.
Nights: €18 per night for a van and two people at the Poulfoën municipal campsite in Plouescat (Tourisme Bretagne, 2026 rates), up to €38.40 in high season at Huttopia Douarnenez (Tourisme Bretagne, 2026 rates): €180 to €384 for 10 nights.
