Londoloza Ukugqoka Nokuqothula Kuwe Nezimoto Zakho
Ukuhamba ngezimoto phakathi kweVirginia neFlorida, kunenye indlela yokushayela ngamamayela angaba ngu-800 noma ngaphezulu ngokuhamba komatasa I-95. U-Amtrak unikeza insizakalo yezitimela ezingekho emgwaqeni kwabahambi kanye nezimoto zabo e-Amtrak Auto Train, emgwaqweni kuphela u-Amtrak ohambisa izimoto. Ngokusho kuka-Amtrak, ngezinjini ezimbili kanye nabashayeli bezitimela ezingaphezu kuka-40 nabagibeli bezimoto, lesi sitimela esiyingqayizivele yisitimela eside kunazo zonke emhlabeni wonke.
Isiteji sokubhukuda eLorton, isiteshi se-Amtrak Auto Train sinezinyawo ezingu-1,480 ubude, okuyinto ede ngaphezu kokuphakama kwe-Chicago Sears Tower.
Isitimela sezimoto singakwazi ukufaka izimoto, ama-vans, izithuthuthu, ama-SUV, izikebhe ezincane, i-jet skis kanye nezinye izimoto zokuzilibazisa. Ukubhuka kuyadingeka futhi kuyatholakala kulabo abahamba ngezimoto zabo.

Izindawo ezikhangayo eziningi kanye nezindawo ezidumile zaseFlorida ziphakathi kwamahora amaningana:
- I-Walt Disney World - ngamamayela angu-55

- UTampa - amakhilomitha angu-117
Izindleko zokuqeqesha ze-Amtrak
Izindawo zokuhlala kanye namazinga amanani ahambelana nawo avela ezihlalweni zabaqeqeshi ukuya ezindlini zokulala.
Ukudla kufakiwe. YONKE ukudla kudalwa emalini. Njengazo zonke izindlela, bheka izindawo zokuthengisa ezikhethekile. Amathikithi e-Auto Train aye avele athengiswa ama-dollar angu-95 emiphakathini yabaqeqeshi. Izindleko zemoto yakho yikhokhwa eyengeziwe.
Kungakanani ukuthi ku-Ship nge-Car
Izindleko zingashintshashintsha, njengabagibeli bezimoto, kodwa lindela cishe u-$ 200 ukuze imoto yakho ihambe emotweni yemoto.
Isikhathi sokuhamba e-Amtrak Auto Train
Uhambo oluhleliwe ngesitimela luhlala cishe emaminithini angu-17 no-30 ngokuhambisana nokushayela isikhathi sokushayela amahora angu-12 namaminithi angu-40 ukumboza amamayela angaphezu kwamamitha angu-800 ngaphandle kokuyeka noma ukulibaziseka (okungeke kwenzeke) endleleni.
Amathiphu Abagibeli Abahamba Nge-Auto Train
Nazi amathiphu ambalwa okuzokusiza ukuthi ulungiselele futhi ujabulele uhambo lwakho. Ukuze uthole ukwaziswa okuningiliziwe, vakashela iwebhusayithi ye-Amtrak noma ushayele inombolo ye-Amtrak engezansi. Yonke imininingwane enikeziwe lapha ingashintsha futhi kufanele iqinisekiswe no-Amtrak ngaphambi kokwenza izinhlelo zakho:
- Kumelwe uthole amathikithi akho e-Auto Train ngaphambi kokuba ugibele isitimela futhi kuwumqondo omuhle ukuthatha amathikithi akho kusengaphambili uma kungenzeka. I-ID yesithombe iyadingeka ukuthi ithathe amathikithi akho nangosuku lokuhamba kwakho.
- Qiniseka ukuthi unokuqonda okucacile mayelana nesikhathi sakho sokuhlola okudingekayo futhi uvumele isikhathi esiningi ukuba ufike ngokushesha. Izikhathi zokungena ziyahlukahluka kuye ngokuthi hlobo luni lwemoto onayo.
- Phakamisa isikhwama esincane esithwala ukugibela ubusuku bakho esitimeleni futhi ukhumbule ukuthatha konke okuzodinga emotweni yakho ngaphambi kokuhlola imoto yakho. Kukhona umkhawulo wezikhwama ezimbili ezithwala umgibeli ngamunye, kodwa kancane kuncono ngesikhala esinqunyiwe esitimeleni. (Lokho kusho ukuthi abaningi abahamba nge-Auto Train abahamba phambili batusa ukuthatha umcamelo wakho okhululekile nesembatho encane, ikakhulu uma uhamba nomqeqeshi.)
- Ngenxa yokuthi ayikho imithwalo ehlola i-Auto Train, yonke imithwalo imele ihlale emotweni yakho, okuzobekelwa kuphela ekufinyeleleni kulo lonke uhambo. Izinto eziyigugu akufanele zishiye emotweni yakho. ( Isithombe sokulayisha izimoto esitimeleni )
- Izinqubo ze-alamu yezimoto kufanele zivinjelwe ngaphambi kokuba ushiye imoto yakho ukuze ugweme ingozi yebhethri elifile lapho ufika uma kwenzeka i-alamu yakho iphuma ngenkathi uhambo.
- Ukudla (isidlo sakusihlwa kanye nesidlo sasekuseni) kufakwe ngentengo yetikiti lakho, futhi ukudla okulula okutholakala kuyatholakala ekuthengeni kuma-Lounges. Uvumelekile ukuletha ukudla kwakho neziphuzo zakho, noma kunjalo, uma ufisa.
- Uma usufika lapho uya khona, ukuthola imoto yakho kungathatha noma yikuphi ukusuka kumaminithi angamashumi amabili kuya emahoreni amabili, ngakho-ke uhlele uhambo lwakho ngokufanele.
