A convoy travel apparatus in a self vehicle of a convoy organizes plural convoys of traveling vehicles in consideration of a non-convoy vehicle that desires to pass the plural convoys when the plural convoys are traveling in parallel on a multi-lane road. The apparatus determines whether the plural convoys are traveling in parallel with each other on a multi-lane road, and if an in-parallel travel state of the convoys is determined, the self vehicle in one of the convoys may be accelerated or decelerated to allow the non-convoy vehicle to pass the plural convoys.
