Abstract
A vehicle communication system includes a first on-board device a first on-board device installed in a vehicle and a first communication device configured to be connected to the first on-board device. Individual identification information used to identify the first communication device as an individual communication terminal is added to the first communication device. The first communication device is configured to transmit the individual identification information to the first on-board device. The first on-board device is configured to associate vehicle information of the vehicle with the individual identification information and transmit the vehicle information associated with the individual identification information to an information device via the first communication device.
