To grab one of the few parking spaces available at the Atlanta Amtrak station, you'll need amazing luck. Unless you're on a winning streak, plan on parking in one of the lots or garages located near to Peachtree Station. Buy a monthly pass at one of them if you're a frequent train traveler because the discounts are worthwhile and you won't have to wonder where to park every time you arrive.
Amtrak in Atlanta is served through the Peachtree Station, at 1688 Peachtree Street NW. There are only 10 short-term parking spaces at the station itself, and those fill up quickly. They also come with restrictions. You can park your car there during the day, but no overnight parking is permitted. If you have a disability, you may park in one of the dedicated spaces at the station. Make sure you have a tag on your mirror or license plate so your vehicle is identified as eligible for those marked spaces.
