About Amtrak
The National Railroad Passenger Corporation, officially known as Amtrak, is a federally chartered corporation dedicated to providing a secure, punctual, and high-quality rail passenger experience that surpasses traveler expectations.
As the sole provider of long-distance passenger rail service in the US, Amtrak operates a critical network connecting hundreds of destinations across the country.
How to Change Your Amtrak Reservation
Amtrak’s website, the official app, and station agents all offer flexibility to make quick and easy adjustments to existing bookings.
Travelers can change the dates and times of their trip or upgrade their seating and roomette options prior to departure. The modification is only possible if an email address is on file.
Amtrak does not impose a ticket change fee, though other charges may apply based on the fare difference. Once changes are completed, the ticket barcode updates automatically, and reprinting is unnecessary.

Amtrak Refund and Cancellation Policy
If a reservation was booked online, it can usually be canceled online by logging into your account or by using the ‘My Trip’ link at the top of the page for guest purchases. Note that reservations modified after the initial booking may not be eligible for online cancellation.
Cancellation fees may be deducted from the refund, and not all fare types qualify for a refund.
For all reserved tickets purchased via cash, credit, or debit card, a full refund to the original form of payment is issued if the ticket is canceled within 24 hours of purchase and before the scheduled departure. Tickets for unreserved services must be canceled within 1 hour of purchase.
Tickets that are unused and not canceled before the scheduled departure are forfeited.
If a trip paid for with a gift card is canceled, the credit will be issued as an eVoucher, which corresponds to the original fare purchased.
Fees for additional items like vehicles on the Auto Train, bikes, and pets are subject to the same cancellation policy as the purchased passenger fare.
For complete details on restrictions and exclusions, customers should consult the full policy.

FAQs
1. Can I change my seat assignment?
Yes. On trains that permit seat selection, passengers can choose a different seat at any time. This can be done through the My Trip section on Amtrak.com, the official app, by speaking with an agent in-station, or by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL.
2. What if I need to change or cancel my reservation due to illness?
If a traveler needs to modify or cancel their plans due to an illness, Amtrak will waive the standard fare change and cancellation penalties upon presenting a valid doctor’s note. This waiver extends to all other members of the ill passenger’s travel party.
