There is provided a travel control apparatus. A recognition unit recognizes a division line of a road on which a self-vehicle is traveling. A control unit executes lane maintenance control to perform lane maintenance of the self-vehicle based on a recognition result of the division line by the recognition unit. If the recognition unit has become unable to recognize the division line in a case in which a first control state for executing the lane maintenance control without issuance of a steering wheel gripping request is set, the control unit will allow preceding vehicle following control, for following a preceding vehicle of the self-vehicle, to be executed after switching the lane maintenance control to manual driving.
