For example, if a group is forming and you're the fifth to join, you save 10% automatically.

All additional savings are rebated when the group finalizes.

Amtrak's program is called Share Fares.

Not at all. We just prefer to take the train over the bus or plane when it makes sense!

We buy the ticket for a group. Amtrak requires everyone in the group be on one ticket. That means you'll see everyone's name. You'll also see ADULT next to each name.

Not for groups of three or larger. If you need to cancel after joining a pool, email us ASAP. If the ticket hasn't been purchased yet, we'll refund you.

Eight is the largest group size Amtrak allows to use the Share Fare discount.

We'll send you an email with the ticket when your pool is finalized and the ticket is purchased.

Yes. We don't store any of your card information on our servers. We use Stripe, an industry leader in secure payments, for our payment processing. All information is transmitted over a secure, encrypted connection.
