Abstract
When a fee setting server acquires end-of-utilization information from a vehicle, the fee setting server requests the vehicle to shoot an image serving as in-vehicle image data (information of the number of occupants). When the fee setting server acquires the in-vehicle image data from the vehicle, the fee setting server specifies the number of riding occupants from the acquired in-vehicle image data, and sets the number of occupants. In a case where the set number of occupants is large, the fee setting server sets a utilization fee for car sharing to be lower than that in a case where the number of occupants is small.
