The travel control device includes a control unit configured to detect, when the vehicle is traveling by the autonomous traveling function, another vehicle present within a predetermined range of the vehicle and of which any part or all of a planned travel route is partially or wholly the same as a planned travel route of the vehicle, and switch the traveling function of the vehicle from the autonomous traveling function to the following traveling function such that the vehicle autonomously follows the other vehicle detected as a leading vehicle.
