An air intake device (1; 101) for providing air to an air conditioning system (2; 102) of a vehicle (120). The air intake device comprises a collecting component (3; 103) with an opening (4; 104) for receiving air, a duct (5; 105) arranged for transporting air from the collecting component to the air conditioning system, and a drainage container (6; 106). The duct has a first duct part (5a; 105a) extending from the collecting component to an inlet (7; 107) of the drainage container, allowing air to flow from the collecting component and into the drainage container, and a second duct part (5; 105b) extending from an outlet (8; 108) of the drainage container to the air conditioning system, allowing air to flow out from the drainage container and to the air conditioning system. The inlet (7; 107) and the outlet (8; 108) are arranged such that an airflow direction (9; 109) of the inlet and an airflow direction (10; 110) of the outlet form an angle α in the interval 90°≤a≤270° relative to each other thereby redirecting an airflow in the drainage container.
