Motorway service area

This article is about motorway services in the UK and Ireland. For similar facilities in other countries, see rest area.

Motorway service areas (MSA), also known as services or service stations, are rest areas in Great Britain and Ireland where drivers can leave a motorway to refuel/recharge, rest, eat and drink, shop, use the toilet or stay in an on-site overnight hotel. They are also a safe refuge for drivers who break down alongside leaving at a motorway junction. The majority of motorway services in the United Kingdom are owned by one of three companies: Moto, Welcome Break and Roadchef. Smaller operators include Extra, Westmorland and EG Group.
