Extra (service areas)

Extra is a British brand of motorway service areas operated by Extra MSA Services Ltd. Extra service areas are typically larger than smaller "rest areas" and offer a wide range of facilities for travelers, including fuel stations, restaurants, shops, hotels, and parking. They are designed to provide a convenient and comprehensive break for motorway users, allowing them to rest, refuel, and refresh themselves on long journeys.

Extra distinguishes itself through its modern designs, often incorporating environmentally friendly features. The company focuses on attracting a diverse range of well-known food and retail brands to its locations, offering consumers a variety of choices. Locations are strategically placed along major motorway routes throughout the United Kingdom.

The company emphasizes creating a pleasant and comfortable environment for travelers, aiming to offer a premium experience compared to some other motorway service operators. This often includes clean and well-maintained facilities, ample seating, and landscaping. The placement and design of Extra service areas are subject to planning regulations and aim to minimize environmental impact and integrate aesthetically with the surrounding landscape where possible.
