Amtrak’s Car-on-Train Travel to Miami: Cost and Process | October 13 2024, 12:28

Some time ago, Amtrak came up with an interesting business model — travel by train with your car — and now it’s being advertised to me on Facebook. Clearly, it’s for those who, for some reason, find it important to drive around Miami in their own car, but don’t want to make the fifteen-hour drive themselves.

So, there’s a special station where you arrive, hand over your keys, and head to boarding. Your car is loaded into a special wagon, and in Florida, both you and your car are unloaded, and you drive to your hotel on your own wheels.

For a standard-sized car, they charge over $500, plus the train ticket itself, which can cost anywhere from $100 to $280 depending on when and how far in advance you buy the ticket. A motorcycle costs $310.
