a providing unit for providing, in each vehicle, vehicle information for specifying the vehicle to a user at the corresponding station who wishes to rent the vehicle;
a management server capable of communicating with a user's communication device and remotely managing the plurality of stations;
including
The management server transmits station information for identifying one of the plurality of stations where the user is currently located, and vehicle information provided by the providing unit about the selected vehicle, both of which are communicated by the user. A vehicle rental system is provided that includes a rental permitting unit that permits rental of the selected vehicle to the user based on the received station information and vehicle information when received together via equipment.
In addition, according to one aspect of the present invention, at each of a plurality of stations capable of storing a plurality of vehicles as rental objects, by using the user's communication device, the user can A vehicle rental system that permits rental of a selected selected vehicle to the user, comprising:
a station-side unit that transmits a signal representing a unique station ID in each station to the communication equipment of the user at the station in such a way that it cannot be received normally outside the area of the station;
