A mounting structure for mounting a compressor to a mounting surface of a vehicle is disclosed. The compressor includes a rotating body that includes a rotary shaft and a compression mechanism. The compression mechanism is provided at least at one end of the rotary shaft in an axial direction. The compressor includes a radial bearing that supports the rotary shaft, a thrust bearing that supports the rotary shaft, and a housing that accommodates the rotating body, the radial bearing, and the thrust bearing. The radial bearing and the thrust bearing are gas bearings. The mounting structure includes a mounting foot that is made from an elastic member and fixed to the housing and the mounting surface. The resonance frequency of the mounting foot is lower than the resonance frequency of the radial bearing and lower than the resonance frequency of the thrust bearing.
