A vehicular static eliminating device includes: a negative ion generating device; and a guide device configured to guide negative ions and release the negative ions from an emission port to a static elimination target spot which is positively charged, the guide device including: a guide member defining a passage through which to guide the negative ions, the guide member being made of a resin which is easily negatively charged in a triboelectric series; and a tip-shaped part configured to discharge, by corona discharge, negative electric charges, which have accumulated on the guide member, to the static elimination target spot, the tip-shaped part being provided in a part defining the emission port and in proximity to the static elimination target spot.
