A display device for vehicles includes a display unit installed in front of a driver seat of a vehicle and having a first area and a second area. The first area displays first information used for travel control of the vehicle. The second area is provided at a position farther from the driver seat than the first area and displaying second information other than the first information. The display device further includes a control unit performing, in response to a user's operation, at least one of enlarging a display portion of information displayed on the display unit or adding new information to the display unit; and a determination unit determining, when the display portion of the first information displayed in the first area is enlarged or when new first information is added to the first area, whether or not a size of the enlarged display portion of the first information or a size of the display portion of the new first information to be added is larger than the first area. When the determination unit determines that the size of the enlarged display portion of the first information or the size of the display portion of the new first information to be added is larger than the first area, the control unit reduces the second area, enlarges the first area, and displays the first information whose display portion is enlarged or the new first information in the enlarged first area. When the display portion of the second information displayed in the second area is enlarged or when new second information is added to the second area, the determination unit determines whether or not a size of the enlarged display portion of the second information or a size of the display portion of the new second information to be added is larger than the second area. When the determination unit determines that the size of the enlarged display portion of the second information or the size of the display portion of the new second information to be added is larger than the second area, the control unit maintains the size of the second area and adjusts the size of the enlarged display portion of the second information or the size of the display portion of the new second information to be added to match the size of the second area.
