In a vehicle control apparatus for remote operation of a vehicle with the use of a remote controller, a remote operation of the vehicle not intended by the driver is prevented. When the running of the vehicle is controlled by remote operation from a remote controller (3), a stop position for the vehicle (2) is set by a stop position setting apparatus (9), and a movement path of the vehicle (2) is calculated by a vehicle path calculation apparatus (10). While the vehicle (2) is moved along the calculated movement path in accordance with a drive operation from the remote controller (3), the drive operation from the remote controller (3) is cancelled and a drive operation from within the vehicle is given priority in the event that the drive operation from within the vehicle and the drive operation from the remote controller (3) conflict with each other.
