A frost suppression device for vehicles includes a grill shutter disposed in front of an outdoor heat exchanger for heating the cabin of the vehicle, a shutter control unit for controlling opening and shutting of the grill shutter, and a weather information obtaining unit for obtaining weather information containing change over time in predicted outside air temperature at the current position of the vehicle. The shutter control unit makes a prediction about frost formation to predict whether the outdoor heat exchanger may be frosted, based on the predicted outside air temperature, when the vehicle is first parked. The prediction about frost formation predicts that frost formation on the outdoor heat exchanger may begin at a time when the predicted outside air temperature becomes equal to or below a predetermined temperature. The shutter control unit shuts the grill shutter before a predicted frosting time.
