I don't know the actual cost but the VRE is probably cheaper than Amtrak although timing is very important. You can take the VRE to L'Enfant Plaza, then catch the 5A bus to IAD from there. Again, not the most direct or convenient way of doing it.

Amtrak will be somewhat better in terms of frequency for off peak times, but still, it's not like there is hourly service from Quantico or anything--it's far enough south to be mostly off the DC public transportation grid.
