At what minimum group size does Amtrak offer discounted rates?

Amtrak offers discounted rates for groups starting from a minimum of 20 people. This threshold is established to encourage group travel, making it more accessible for larger parties such as families, friends, or organizations seeking to travel together. By setting the minimum at 20, Amtrak can ensure that there is a significant number of travelers to warrant a discount while still being manageable for booking and coordination purposes.

Lower thresholds can sometimes be seen in other contexts, but Amtrak specifically targets larger groups to optimize its revenue while providing value to those traveling in substantial numbers. This strategy helps to fill more seats and enhance overall travel experiences for groups looking for cost-effective travel options.
