Rail travel

Amtrak offers federal government employees discounted fares for business travel. For specific Amtrak services and routes covered by the Federal Government Discount Program, please visit amtrak.com/government-discount. To receive the federal government discount, reservations must be booked through the traveler’s authorized travel management system, and cannot be booked on Amtrak.com.

Fully refundable federal government fares

Your reservation is fully refundable when you book a federal government fare through an approved channel. These channels include CWT’s E2 Solutions, SAP Concur’s ConcurGov, or your agency’s Travel Management Company (TMC). You can cancel your reservation through Amtrak.com, the Amtrak mobile app, by calling Amtrak at 1-800-USA-RAIL, or with an Amtrak Station Agent. Cancellations made prior to departure will be refunded; however, no-shows or no-cancellations will be forfeited.
