Reservations must be booked through the traveler’s authorized travel management system, such as GO.gov, E2, ConcurGov, or the Defense Travel System, not through Amtrak.com.
Your reservation is fully refundable when you book a federal government fare through an approved channel or your agency’s travel management company. 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. Refunds are only available for cancellations made before the departure time. No-shows will not receive a refund.
