I occassionally make one or two day train trips out of Union Station, and
always use the all day parking at $8 per day. Long term parking may be
even less expensive -- I've never checked it myself.

It takes me about 15 mins to drive to Union Station, and a good deal
longer to get the Metro in. Also, like numerous Metro stations, the one
closest to me has no parking.
