I hate to say it depends; but the costs run according to supply and demand. A return trip for me in late Nov./early Dec. is running from $270 to $371. The car itself costs about $175 and the per pax costs from from about $100 to almost $200. Go on Amtrak.com, plug in autotrain and it allows you to put in different dates to see the costs.
This will be my 4th trip using the Autotrain and it has been a great experience. I bring my pillow and a throw and always get a good night's sleep in one of the recliners. The dinner food is tasty, the breakfast is just enough to get you started and the staff has always been friendly & helpful.
You drop your car outside the station and the staff puts it on the train. Same thing for pickup, you stand outside the station and they call your number when your car is coming off the train, hop in and drive away. I am very fussy with my car and they seem to take good care with it.
You can ask for a window or aisle seat. The bathrooms are not any worse than most restaurants.
