Families and groups can save up to 45 percent while traveling the Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington, D.C. with Amtrak this summer.

Customers can use the promo code V299 to access the Acela Share Fares via Amtrak.com or on the Amtrak app. Travelers can book with no blackout dates between Friday, July 17 and August 31, 2020, for travel beginning Sunday, July 19 through September 12, 2020.

Here's a breakdown of the fare structure:

-One Customer: full price

-Two Customers: 8 percent off

-Three Customers: 25 percent off

-Four Customers: 35 percent off

-Five Customers: 43 percent off

-Six Customers: 45 percent off

Two-day advance purchase is required and full fare adult and companion(s) must travel together and be booked in the same reservation.

Meanwhile, customers who book before August 31 can score additional savings on travel throughout the Northeast through September 12, 2020, with Amtrak's lowest fares of the year offer combining 30 percent savings with the ongoing Saver Fares already offered on both Acela and Northeast Regional trains.

In addition to requiring all customers and employees to wear masks, Amtrak is limiting bookings on most trains to allow for physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
