A vehicle control device includes an oncoming vehicle detection sensor configured to detect an oncoming vehicle that approaches an own vehicle, and a controller configured to automatically apply brakes to the own vehicle to avoid a collision with the oncoming vehicle detected by the oncoming vehicle detection sensor under a condition that the own vehicle is at least partially in an opposite lane or a planned path of the own vehicle is at least partially in the opposite lane. The controller is configured to set, between the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle, a virtual area that moves with the oncoming vehicle and that extends in an advancing direction of the oncoming vehicle, and automatically brake the own vehicle to avoid coming into contact with the virtual area to avoid the collision between the own vehicle and the oncoming vehicle.
