An air conditioner for a vehicle includes a condenser unit including at least a condenser and a blower associated therewith and a cooling unit including at least an evaporator and a blower associated therewith, the condenser unit and the cooling unit being structurally independent from one another and disposed on a roof of the vehicle in a spaced relation to each other. The condenser unit and the cooling unit are housed in a single casing such that the condenser unit is disposed adjacent the front portion of the casing which is located closer to a front portion of the vehicle than a rear portion of the casing, and the cooling unit is disposed adjacent the rear portion. The casing has a bottom wall separated from the vehicle roof with a space defined therebetween for the passage of the outside air and includes a chamber defined therein communicating with the space through an outside-air intake hole defined in the casing bottom wall. An outside-air blower is disposed in the chamber and has an outlet open to a cooling chamber in which the cooling unit is received. With this construction, upon operation of the outside-air blower, the outside air is introduced into the cooling chamber.
