In a remote travel system, a vehicle control device of a host vehicle and a terminal control device of an operation terminal perform wireless communication with each other, and the vehicle control device performs remote travel control of making the host vehicle travel autonomously to a designated stall in response to operation of the operation terminal. The remote travel system is configured such that a stall registered in the remote travel system is allowed to be designated as the designated stall during execution of the remote travel control. The remote travel system is configured such that, even when there is a movable obstacle on a travel route of the host vehicle to a stall to be reached by the host vehicle during execution of the remote travel control, that stall is allowed to be designated as the designated stall when that stall is one registered in the remote travel system.
