An alert system outputs one or more alerts about an occupant being left in a vehicle. The alert system includes an in-vehicle object detector and an alert controller. The in-vehicle object detector detects objects in a vehicle compartment, including the occupant. If the occupant is left in the compartment after a driver has left the vehicle, the alert controller controls outputting of the one or more alerts to mobile terminals of persons including the driver. If the driver has left the vehicle, the alert controller causes the in-vehicle object detector to begin a detection processing for detecting the occupant being left in the compartment. If the occupant is left in the compartment, the alert controller determines whether the mobile terminal of the driver is left in the compartment. The alert controller switches outputting of the one or more alerts to among the mobile terminals of the persons in accordance with whether the mobile terminal of the driver is left in the compartment.
