extracting, among the plurality of management facilities stored in a memory of the computer, one or more management facilities that exist within a predetermined range from the reference facility and of which a number of unrented vehicles being managed is to be changed, as one or more uneven distribution facilities; specifying, among the one or more uneven distribution facilities, an uneven distribution facility in which an advantage in a case where the user uses the uneven distribution facility matches an advantage emphasized by the user; and generating information that indicates the specified uneven distribution facility, and outputting the information to the user so that the information is viewable by the user. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A vehicle management facility information providing method implemented by a computer, the method comprising: specifying, at a processor circuit of the computer, as a reference facility, any one of a plurality of management facilities that manage unrented vehicles, based on input by a user; extracting, at the processor circuit, among the plurality of management facilities stored in a memory of the computer, one or more management facilities that exist within a predetermined range from the reference facility and of which a number of unrented vehicles being managed is to be changed, as one or more uneven distribution facilities; specifying, at the processor circuit, among the one or more uneven distribution facilities, an uneven distribution facility in which an advantage in a case where the user uses the uneven distribution facility matches an advantage emphasized by the user; and generating, at the processor circuit, information that indicates the specified uneven distribution facility, and outputting the information to the user so that the information is viewable by the user. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more uneven distribution facilities include, among the plurality of management facilities, the one or more management facilities that exist within the predetermined range from the reference facility and of which the number of unrented vehicles is to be decreased, and the specifying of the uneven distribution facility includes specifying, among the one or more uneven distribution facilities stored in the memory, an uneven distribution facility in which an advantage in a case where the user rents a vehicle in the uneven distribution facility matches the advantage emphasized by the user. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more uneven distribution facilities include, among the plurality of management facilities stored in the memory, the one or more management facilities that exist within the predetermined range from the reference facility and of which the number of unrented vehicles is to be increased, and the specifying of the uneven distribution facility includes specifying, among the one or more uneven distribution facilities stored in the memory, an uneven distribution facility in which an advantage in a case where the user returns a vehicle in the uneven distribution facility matches the advantage emphasized by the user. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 1, wherein by using a trained model generated based on at least one of information on whether the user has used the uneven distribution facility presented in past, information on the user input by the user, and information on an action history of the user, the uneven distribution facility in which the advantage in a case where the user uses the uneven distribution facility matches the advantage emphasized by the user is specified among the one or more uneven distribution facilities. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 4, wherein in a case where the trained model has not been generated, information on at least one of the uneven distribution facilities is presented to the user. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 1, wherein the one or more management facilities extracted as the one or more uneven distribution facilities are determined based on the number of unrented vehicles that are managed by each of the plurality of management facilities. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 6, wherein the one or more management facilities extracted as the one or more uneven distribution facilities are determined based on a result of predicting a change in the number of unrented vehicles managed in each of the plurality of management facilities. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 1, wherein as the one or more uneven distribution facilities, a maintenance facility that satisfies a predetermined condition is selected among maintenance facilities that perform maintenance of the vehicle. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 1, wherein the specifying of the reference facility includes specifying one of the plurality of management facilities as a reference facility based on a route search condition input by the user. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The vehicle management facility information providing method according to claim 1, wherein the outputting of the information to the user includes outputting an advantage in a case where the uneven distribution facility is used together with the information that indicates the specified uneven distribution facility. ### Claim 11 A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a vehicle management facility information providing program for causing a computer to perform processing comprising: specifying, at a processor circuit of the computer, as a reference facility, any one of a plurality of management facilities that manage unrented vehicles, based on input by a user; extracting, at the processor circuit, among the plurality of management facilities stored in a memory of the computer, one or more management facilities that exist within a predetermined range from the reference facility and of which a number of unrented vehicles being managed is to be changed, as one or more uneven distribution facilities; specifying, at the processor circuit, among the one or more uneven distribution facilities, an uneven distribution facility in which an advantage in a case where the user uses the uneven distribution facility matches an advantage emphasized by the user; and generating, at the processor circuit, information that indicates the specified uneven distribution facility, and outputting the information to the user so that the information is viewable by the user.
