A vehicle control device for controlling a vehicle drive device that includes an input member that is drive coupled to an engine, an output member that is drive coupled to a wheel, and a transmission apparatus that has a plurality of engaging elements, that switches a plurality of shift speeds by controlling engaging and releasing of the plurality of the engaging elements, and that transmits to the output member a rotational driving force of the input member by shifting the rotational driving force at gear ratios of the plurality of the shift speeds, wherein
- the transmission apparatus is provided with, as one of the plurality of the shift speeds, a one-way transmission speed at which the rotational driving force is transmitted from the input member to the output member and the rotational driving force is not transmitted from the output member to the input member;
- and
- the vehicle control device is provided with control unit that controls the transmission apparatus to implement the one-way transmission speed in an idle stop state in which the vehicle is in a moving state and the engine is stopped.
