In a vehicle head-up display device that reflects a display light transmitted through a dust-proof cover on a windshield or a combiner, and viewably displays display information as a virtual image from a driver's seat of a vehicle, the dust-proof cover has a light transmissive property produced by being rolled, when a line between a first point a first end side of the display in a longitudinal direction of the display and a second point being at the same height as the first point in a second end side opposite to the first end side is a longitudinal axis, and a luminance of a virtual image is adjusted by adjusting an angle between a rolling direction of a resin sheet used for the dust-proof cover and a virtual image longitudinal axis, which corresponds to the longitudinal axis, of a virtual image of the display reflected by the reflector. As a result, a polarization state of the display light is changed to enable the luminance of the virtual image to be adjusted without any increase in the number of parts and a body size.
