We paid $1,586 to book a private room and bring our car on the Amtrak Auto Train. For us, the pros outweighed the cons.
We brought our car on the Amtrak Auto Train and booked a private bedroom for the trip from Virginia to Florida. Here's how the ride (and meals) were.
Jay Silver and their friend booked a private bedroom for two on Amtrak's Auto Train to Florida, paying $1,586 for the journey. The nonstop 17-hour ride proved to be a pleasant experience as there were no stops for people to board or disembark. Their private room, larger than a roomette, included a single bed, a chair, a sofa that transformed into a second bed, and a private bathroom.
A personal attendant was assigned to them, ensuring a comfortable stay. The food served in the dining car was surprisingly good, featuring steak, chicken, salmon, or pasta with salad and dessert, along with complimentary wine. Despite a small bathroom and the challenge of sleeping on a train, Jay Silver found the overall experience to be a good value and wouldn't hesitate to do it again.
