Vehicle information providing device, vehicle information providing method, and program

A vehicle information providing device comprising:

• an acquisition unit that acquires a destination input by a user;
• a plan setting unit that sets a plan for a vehicle to travel toward the destination acquired by the acquisition unit;
• and
• a communicator that communicates with a plurality of terminal devices,
• wherein the plan setting unit:
• sets a first travel plan for moving a first user to a first destination set as a destination on a first route before a desired arrival time at the destination acquired from the first user;
• sets a second travel plan for moving the first user and a second user on a second route which allows the second user to ride by changing the first route in a case in which the second user desires co-riding in the vehicle traveling in accordance with the first travel plan;
• determines whether or not the first user will be able to be moved to the first destination before the desired arrival time in a case in which the vehicle travels in accordance with the second travel plan,
• sets the travel plan on the basis of a result of the determination,
• causes the communicator to transmit, to a terminal device used by the first user, information that inquires whether or not permission for co-riding of the second user is acceptable, and
• sets a fare for the travel plan, discounts the fare for the first user that permitted co-riding of the second user by a first discount amount based on the vehicle arriving at the destination before the desired arrival time in a case in which the vehicle travels in accordance with the second travel plan, and discounts the fare for the first user that permitted co-riding of the second user by a second discount amount based on the vehicle arriving at the destination after the desired arrival time in a case in which the vehicle travels in accordance with the second travel plan, wherein the second discount amount is more than the first discount amount, and
• wherein the communicator receives information indicating the first user permits co-riding of the second user.

• acquiring a destination input by a user;
• setting a plan for a vehicle to travel toward the acquired destination;
• setting a first travel plan for moving a first user to a first destination set as a destination on a first route before a first time;

• determining whether or not the first user will be able to be moved to the first destination before the first time in a case in which the vehicle travels in accordance with the second travel plan and setting the second travel plan to the travel plan instead of the first travel plan in a case in which it is determined that the first user will be able to be moved to the first destination before the first time in a case in which the vehicle travels in accordance with the second travel plan;
• communicating, to a terminal device used by the first user, information related to whether or not permission for co-riding of the second user is acceptable;
• setting a fare for the travel plan, wherein the setting comprises;
• discounting the fare for the first user by a first discount amount based on the vehicle arriving at the destination before the first time in a case in which the vehicle travels in accordance with the second travel plan, and
• discounting the fare for the first user by a second discount amount based on the vehicle failing to arrive at the destination before the first time in a case in which the vehicle travels in accordance with the second travel plan, wherein the second discount amount is larger than the first discount amount;
• and
• receiving, from the terminal device used by the first user, information indicating the first user permits co-riding by the second user.
