1. An elevator charging system comprising:
one or more cars each capable of transporting any one of a plurality of moving bodies, by running between a plurality of floors; and
processing circuitry
to receive one or more usage requests each of which includes information about a call requesting to be assigned to one of the one or more cars and information about a desired price for a usage fee of the car and each of which corresponds to a different one of the plurality of moving bodies;
to assign each of the calls to one of the one or more cars, while prioritizing calls in usage requests having higher priority among the one or more usage requests received by the processing circuitry, based on information including the desired prices; and
to store therein the usage fee to be charged for each of the usage requests of which the calls were assigned by the processing circuitry.
