First time on a train, cool experience, but due to the delays I couldn’t show for my car rental that I had for six days and they put me as no-show which I still have to pay for it, but couldn’t get it

Honestly, the trip was fine. But to pay $220 for a 10 hour trip is outrageous. It would take 6 hours by car and probably cost less.
