Traveling with a Companion/Attendant

Amtrak does not require that a companion or attendant accompany a customer with a disability. However, if a customer anticipates that he or she may need personal care assistance during the trip, such as assistance with feeding, bathing, dressing, medicating or toileting, the customer must travel with an attendant who can provide such assistance.

The Amtrak train crews are not required or permitted to provide personal care assistance to customers. Please take this into account when making your travel plans. If it becomes apparent during a trip that an unaccompanied customer requires such assistance, the customer may have to detrain prior to his or her final destination.

Companion Discount

Amtrak offers a 10% discount for persons traveling with a customer with a disability as a companion. Those designated as a companion must be capable of providing the necessary assistance to the customer with a disability. Additional restrictions may apply
