A vehicle speed control system which is installed in a vehicle which has a vehicle speed detector, comprising: a controller that performs vehicle speed limit control that limits a vehicle speed so that the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detector does not exceed a speed limit, and speed increase rate control that allows increase of the speed of the vehicle after the vehicle speed limit control is finished while limiting a rate of increase of the speed of the vehicle so that the rate of increase of the vehicle speed does not exceed a target rate of increase of the vehicle speed, wherein the controller sets the target rate of increase of the vehicle speed based on the vehicle speed detected by the vehicle speed detector, so that the target rate of increase of the vehicle speed after the vehicle speed limit control is finished is larger when the vehicle speed is high during the vehicle speed limit control compared to when the vehicle speed is low during the vehicle speed limit control.
