How much is it to transport a car by train?

I'm moving from Washington, D.C. to Florida in the next few months. How much does it cost to have your car shipped?

“Sounds like a big move!
To transport a car by train, you’ll probably pay about $500. This includes the cost of shipping the vehicle, as well as the mandatory passenger ticket you’ll need to purchase.
Amtrak is the only carrier that offers vehicle shipping, and its service is limited to very few areas. Still, transporting your car by train is cheaper and quicker than shipping it by truck.
In fact, it only takes about 18 hours by train to get you and your car from Washington, D.C. to Florida. We hope your move goes well!
Since you’ll need to update your address on your car insurance, consider upgrading your policy or provider, too. The
