Government Rail Travel Discount

Amtrak offers federal government employees discounted fares for business travel within the Northeast Corridor, as well as discounts for business travel on Coach fares nationwide. To receive the Federal Government discount, reservations must be booked through a federal employee’s travel management company or corporate booking tool and may not be booked on Amtrak.com. 

Travel between 70+ stations using the Northeast Regional, Keystone and Acela service with a 5% discount across each fare type in relevant markets.

We’ve removed the refund rules from our federal government fares, so your reservation is now fully refundable when booked through approved channels, provided your reservation is canceled prior to departure.

• Cancel your reservation through Amtrak.com, the Amtrak app, by calling us at 1-800-USA-RAIL, or with an Amtrak Station Agent. Cancellations made prior to departure will be refunded 100%.
