A travel control apparatus of a self-driving vehicle with a driving part for traveling including a vehicle detector detecting another vehicle around the self-driving vehicle and an electric control unit having a microprocessor and a memory. The microprocessor is configured to perform generating an action plan so as to follow the other vehicle detected by the vehicle detector as a target vehicle, and controlling the driving part in accordance with the action plan generated in the generating, in which the generating includes recognizing a size class of the other vehicle; determining whether the other vehicle satisfies a condition that a degree of difference of the recognized size class from a size class of the self-driving vehicle is equal to or less than a predetermined degree; and designating the other vehicle determined to satisfy the condition as the target vehicle.
