Amtrak's Auto Train is a one-of-a-kind service in the U.S., enabling travelers to take along their car, small van, or motorcycle when they travel along the east coast. Passengers ride in either wide coach seats or private first-class sleeping compartments while their vehicles are safely carried in enclosed auto carriers. This is the best way to go to Florida for the snowbirds getting ready to escape the wintery weather in the Northeast.
The Auto Train operates every day of the year non-stop between Lorton, Virginia and Sanford, Florida. Lorton is about a half-hour drive south of Washington, DC, just off I-95. Sanford is about a half-hour drive north of Orlando, a short distance from I-4. Both the Lorton and the Sanford terminals are used exclusively by the Auto Train.
If you are taking the auto train in Lorton, come down the day before and stay at the Comfort Inn Gunston Corner in Lorton, the only and closest hotel to the Amtrak Auto Train station. Offering the best discounted rates for Amtrak passengers, call the hotel directly at (703) 643-3100 and ask for the LAMTRK rate code. Or book online at www.cigunston.com and enter the special rate ID 00065765 to get the Amtrak discounted rate
