That's worth taking if one lived near Lorton and just wanted to do a one-way and drive to and stop at cities on the return.

$9 coach. $209 for the car. The Auto Train is the only long distance train I have never taken. if there is a sale on the price of the car and Amtrak will allow you to ride without a car,I'll do it.

I live in NE Pa and I would travel to South Florida. It's a 4 to 5 hour drive to get to Lorton and another 4 to get to Fort Lauderdale.

I think a sleeper is $109. That's $318 for the trip,which is $150 cheaper than than the biggest rip off on Amtrak,the Silver trains in a roomette from the Northeast to Florida. By taking the auto train in a sleeper you are getting full service dining.

A sale price for transport of one's car? I doubt it. What they do to transport the car is labor intensive. It's my understanding that one cannot make an Auto Train reservation without a car.

It says rooms are refundable -25% fee - does that still apply with COVID fee waiver?

Reason is I am not 100% sure when I want to do the trip, it may have to be moved by a day or two. In which case, sure, no change fees, BUT no more promo, if I find out in April that my June trip has to be moved by a couple of days, I would prefer to be able to cancel and not be out of over $100 for cancellation fee.

If I call Amtrak Guest Rewards, and ask for them to put me into two roomettes under this promo, do you think they will. I already have existing coach reservations for 4 people.

Hi Sidney, I am pretty sure Dakota 400 is correct, Amtrak stopped allowing non-automobile traveling passengers on the Auto Train several years ago, I am sorry to let you know that.

Well I've been trying to use this but this is the message I've been getting...

I'm looking at doing it for the fun of it. Drive to Lorton (7 hours but 2-3 days if we stop to see things). Take the train to Sanford. Drive home seeing things along the way.
