Skip the traffic and Get Carried Away
WASHINGTON – For those looking for a unique adventure or visiting family and friends, customers can travel in the comfort of a private room with the latest flash sale for the Amtrak Auto Train.

The offer is valid for travel from Oct. 4 – Dec. 17, 2020.
The Auto Train offers daily, non-stop service from Lorton, Va. (near Washington, D.C.), and Sanford, Fla. (near Orlando). Customers can skip I-95 and travel with their vehicles, including cars, vans, SUVs, motorcycles and even small boats or jet-skis. This is the only such service in the U.S. and eliminates nearly 900 miles of driving between the Northeast and all points in Florida.
For customers seeking both privacy and savings, Roomettes feature two comfortable seats by day and upper and lower berths by night.

Amtrak is leading the way by setting a new standard of travel with enhanced safety and cleaning measures. In an effort to simplify and safeguard the travel experience, several cleaning, contact-free and convenience measures have been implemented into every part of the customer journey, including:
