A convenience apparatus for a vehicle includes a user sensing unit configured to sense a user located outside the vehicle; an object sensing unit configured to sense an object other than the user located outside the vehicle; and a processor. The processor is configured to determine at least one geo-fence established around the vehicle; determine, based on the user sensing unit sensing the user outside the vehicle, whether an entrance event or an exit event of the user has occurred based on the at least one geo-fence; determine that the object sensing unit has sensed an object outside the vehicle; and based on determining that the object sensing unit has sensed the object outside the vehicle and that the entrance or exit event of the user has occurred, provide a signal that controls an operation of the vehicle according to the entrance or exit event of the user.
