  • General Information

    How much does the app cost?

    The Amtrak app is free to download and use.

    What if I lose my phone? Is my information safe?

    We recommend using a security PIN or fingerprint to prevent access to personal information if your phone becomes lost.  If someone gains access to your phone and you are logged into your Amtrak account, purchases could be made if your credit card information is saved to your profile, and they would also be able to see and potentially modify reservations. 

    Can I use this app without a network connection?

    If you lose connection, you will not be able to complete transactions, but will still be able to see upcoming reservations, access your eTicket, and view other important information.  In order to maintain the most accurate information and access all functionality, a cellular or WiFi network connection is required.

    What if I lose my network connection during a transaction?

    You won't be able to continue without a network connection. If you aren't sure if your transaction completed, check your email and home screen. If your purchase did complete before you lost the connection you will receive an email and the changes will appear on your home screen.

    Will the application work on my iPad?

    Yes.

    Where do I get the Amtrak app for my iPhone or iPad?

    Search for "Amtrak" in Apple's App Store®. The app will run on iOS version 9 or higher.

    Where do I get the Amtrak app for my Android device?

    Search for "Amtrak" in Google Play. The app will run on Android version 5.0 or higher

  • Purchasing Travel

    What kinds of tickets can I purchase through the app?

    You can purchase one-way, roundtrip and multi-ride tickets and Auto Train tickets. Multi-city tickets are not supported, but can be purchased on Amtrak.com.

    Will I get an email confirmation for purchases and changes made using the app?

    Yes. You are required to provide an email address to book a reservation, and you will receive an email confirmation.

    How do I get tickets for reservations booked through the app?

    When you book a ticket on the app, a conductor-scannable eTicket for your trip will show on the home screen.

  • Managing My Reservation

    Can I store my eTicket using a wallet app?

    Amtrak supports Apple wallet.  On an iOS device, once you’ve booked a reservation you will see an Add to Apple Wallet button on the confirmation screen.  Tap the button to download your eTicket to the wallet.  If you want to download it at a later time, you can also find the button on the reservation details screen.

    How do I use a discount such as Senior or Rail Passengers Association?

    When making a reservation, you can designate a discount on the Travelers screen before you search for trains. A link to applicable program rules for Passenger Types and Discounts is also available on this screen.

    I made a reservation that does not automatically display on the app when I’m logged-in on the home screen.

    Try updating the home screen by swiping it down. You can also look up reservations on the app home screen by providing the reservation number and the last name, email address or phone number. 

    Does it cost more to book using the app?

    Tickets purchased through the application are the same cost as those purchased through other methods such as Amtrak.com.

    My ticket info is wrong. How do I fix it?

    Please call us at 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-800-872-7245) or TDD/TTY (1-800-523-6590).
