Prices can be paid through the phone, with instructions in each car park. They are strictly enforced by CP Plus.

Trivia

At £3, the services have the cheapest car parking ever seen at a UK service station, even if Tiverton isn't a 'proper' service area.

The services are sometimes referred to as 'Sampford Peverell' services.

In 2009 another operator attempted to build a full motorway service area opposite the junction, with the aim being to create a gateway to Mid Devon. The plans had to be scaled down to a rest area as Tiverton complained it would take traffic from their site, even though the developer claimed they were after different markets and Tiverton could benefit from the increased traffic. The plans were later rejected all-together as the council weren't interested in what they called a "half-measure", and they wanted something bigger to relieve congestion at Cullompton.

Author: Message: Anonymous Actually... Tiverton Services aren't signposted from the motorway, so they're not M5 Services. And... even though they're situated on the A38, as all the signage for the services are green ones, and the A38 at this point isn't a primary route, to all intents and purposes, Tiverton Services are A361 Services, and, along with Newtown Services just outside of South Molton, are the only 'proper' services on the A361 in Devon.
