How does the Amtrak USA Rail Pass work?
There are a few things to keep in mind before you hop on board:
- Your USA Rail Pass is valid for 120 days after purchase (meaning you have 120 days to activate it)
- Once activated (i.e. you book your first Rail Pass trip) you have 30 days to use the pass
- Each trip is referred to as a “segment”
- The USA Rail Pass covers 10 segments over the span of 30 days
This means for $299, travel for just $29 a segment. If a trip involves a connection, that counts as two segments.
How much is an Amtrak Pass?
The USA Rail Pass is normally $499. However, if you book your USA Rail Pass between January 10-17, the pass is just $299, a $200 savings! This covers 10 trips for one month of travel to over 500 destinations.
