Abstract: In a vehicle communication device, a vehicle-to-vehicle communication unit receives from an other-vehicle in real time, complementary information that includes AP information that the other-vehicle cannot receive from an access point at a traveling position of the other-vehicle, the AP information being information possessed by another other-vehicle and that cannot be directly received by the vehicle-to-vehicle communication unit. Based on the complementary information received from the other-vehicle at a specific time, a controller creates complemented own-vehicle AP integrated information in which AP information that is included in an integrated range and is different from the AP information of own-vehicle AP integrated information at the specific time, is complemented. The vehicle-to-vehicle communication unit transmits the complemented own-vehicle AP integrated information at the specific time created by the controller to the other-vehicle in vicinity in real time.
