An air conditioning device for a vehicle includes: a water-refrigerant condenser that condenses a refrigerant at a high temperature by heat exchange with a coolant; a water-refrigerant evaporator that evaporates the refrigerant at a low pressure by heat exchange with the coolant; a refrigerant passage switching portion configured to switch a delivery route of the refrigerant in the water-refrigerant condenser between a first refrigerant passage leading to the water-refrigerant evaporator and a second refrigerant passage leading to a cooling evaporator that cools air to be sent into a vehicle interior; and a first water passage that causes a passage for the coolant in the water-refrigerant condenser to be communicated with a radiator that radiates heat of the coolant to outside air, wherein in a cooling mode, the delivery route of the refrigerant in the water-refrigerant condenser is switched to the second refrigerant passage, and heat transferred from air to the refrigerant by the cooling evaporator is transferred from the refrigerant to the coolant by the water-refrigerant condenser and radiated from the coolant to the outside air by the radiator.
