A vehicle operating device includes: a pad surface that is operated by contact with a finger of an operator; an X-direction actuator and a Y-direction actuator that move the pad surface in directions parallel to the pad surface; a track pad that detects a contact position of the finger of the operator on the pad surface; and a display controller and a display unit that display at least one item on a display screen, change a display mode on the display screen in accordance with the contact operation with the finger of the operator on the pad surface, and sets a virtual cursor that virtually moves on the display screen. When the virtual cursor reaches a boundary of the item, the X-direction actuator and the Y-direction actuator move the pad surface in a direction of the contact operation of the finger of the operator.
