A vehicle drive-force transmitting apparatus (10) including: a casing (40); a drive-force transmitting mechanism (16) disposed in the casing (40); and first and second oil pumps (PI, P2) configured to suck, through respective inlet ports (84, 86) thereof, oil stored in a bottom portion (72) of a casing (40), such that the drive-force transmitting mechanism (16) is lubricated by the oil pumped up by the first and second oil pumps (PI, P2). The casing (40) is provided with a drain hole (102) through which the oil stored in the bottom portion (72) of the casing (40) is to be discharged to an exterior of the casing (40). A position (Lp1) of opening of the inlet port (84) of the first oil pump (P1) is lower than a position (Ld) of a lower end of the drain hole (102), and a position (Lp2) of opening of the inlet port (86) of the second oil pump (P2) is higher than the position (Ld) of the lower end of the drain hole (102).
