Decide How You Want to Change Your Reservation
Change your ticket delivery method. You can choose to have your tickets sent by mail or arrange to have them ready for pick-up at an Amtrak kiosk, Amtrak station, or Amtrak vending machine.
Modify the times or dates of your reservation based on your new traveling plans. There are no penalty fees for changing a reservation. You may be required to pay the difference in cost if your new, updated ticket has a higher rate. For example, if you paid 250 dollars (176 euros) for your original ticket, but the ticket for your new reservation costs 300 dollars (212 euros), you be will required to pay the difference of 50 dollars (35.29 euros).
Change your class of service. You can upgrade or downgrade to and from First Class, or make Amtrak sleeping arrangements. If you are modifying First Class or Sleeping Car reservations, you must provide advanced notices of 1 hour, or 7 days, respectively. You will be required to pay penalties or for the full price of the extra accommodations if you do not change your reservations within the advanced notice time-frames.
Modify the type of vehicle you are bringing on the train with you if you booked an Auto Train reservation. For example, if you have decided to bring a car instead of a motorcycle, you will need to notify Amtrak to reserve extra room for your automobile.
