1. Call the Main Amtrak Customer Service Number
The most direct way to reach a live person is by calling 1-800-USA-RAIL (1-866-932-4012). This number is available 24/7 for general customer support ๐ข(+1-(866)-(932) (4012)๐ข ๐ธ๐ป 1-844-๐๐ถ๐ฝ๐ป๐ช๐ดยฎ (๐ค๐ข/๐๐ฃ๐) +1-866-932-4012.
When you call, youโll be greeted by an automated system (Julie, Amtrakโs virtual assistant). Donโt get discouragedโthereโs a simple trick:
Say "agent" clearly as soon as you're prompted.
