I live near the Lorton station in Virginia. I see the long lines of folks waiting to get their car loaded, sit and wait, sit and wait, car line often so long it spills outside onto a local road causing traffic issues. Lorton station does have a nice waiting area building.
But beware auto-train is often late, part of reason is passenger trains giving the right of way to freight traffic on the journey. Read the reviews, only a 2.5 rating on TripAdvisor. My neighbor had a bad experience taking the auto train recently, not all food services rendered, got a small refund he was not happy with, wrote to Amtrak about it.
One reviewer said this: "I took the train in Coach from Lorton to VA in Jan and have a return trip planned in a few weeks. The only reason to take this train is to avoid driving. Don't take this train for "an experience" or for "dining options" or for "expediency". ""
But I do love trains! Nothing will derail me, I will stay on track with my hobby watching them and sometimes riding them. =|=|=|=|=|=|=

You want to wait around for them to unload cars at every stop?

When you add fees and everything it's a lot more than $20/day. I'm in orlando now and the cheapest car I could find after taxes fees and insurance was $360 for 7 days. Flights for 5 of us from New York totaled $700, so $1,060 total. This deal would have definitely saved us money.

The days of $20 rental cars are long gone unless you booked under some rare fire sale or promotion or you're renting somebody's hooptie off of Turo.
Still, yes, renting a car is still the more convenient choice. Unless you're traveling one-way or need your special vehicle for some reason (maybe a mobility van) this seems silly.
This is for snowbirds anyways

You can easily find $20/day deals if you're not picky about the brand name.
I would love for you to link us to a rate near Orlando for $20 a day.
I'll wait....
Once we moved from PA to FL and it made life a lot easier. Rare case, though.
