I've used the auto train 10 or 12 times. If I buy tickets for northbound first week of June..southbound early September.. I always buy the small sleeper room and vehicle In Feb.. Price is around $500 each way. This includes meals. If I want to and an extra person later it just the passenger ticket price around $80 each way. If I were to wait till a month b4 trip same deal would be $700+ each way.
It saves about 900 miles a hotel and dinner and breakfast from the drive option. My wife can't take the sleeping on the less than smooth Amtrak ride so she flies.
