Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Business Description and Basis of Presentation | Business Description and Basis of Presentation TravelCenters of America Inc. is a Maryland corporation. As of March 31, 2022, we operated or franchised 281 travel centers, standalone truck service facilities and a standalone restaurant. Our customers include trucking fleets and their drivers, independent truck drivers, highway and local motorists and casual diners. We also collect rents, royalties and other fees from our tenants and franchisees. As of March 31, 2022, our business included 276 travel centers in 44 states in the United States and the province of Ontario, Canada, primarily along the U.S. interstate highway system, operated primarily under the "TravelCenters of America," "TA," "TA Express," "Petro Stopping Centers" and "Petro" brand names. Of these travel centers, we owned 51, we leased 181, we operated two for a joint venture and 42 were owned or leased from others by our franchisees. We operated 232 of our travel centers and franchisees operated 44 travel centers, including two we leased to franchisees. Our travel centers offer a broad range of products and services, including diesel fuel and gasoline, as well as nonfuel products and services such as truck repair and maintenance services, diesel exhaust fluid, full service restaurants, quick service restaurants and various customer amenities. As of March 31, 2022, our business included four standalone truck service facilities operated under the "TA Truck Service" brand name. Of these standalone truck service facilities, we leased three and owned one. Our standalone truck service facilities offer extensive maintenance and emergency repair and roadside services to large trucks. As of March 31, 2022, our business included one standalone restaurant that we operated for a joint venture. On April 21, 2021, we completed the sale of our Quaker Steak & Lube, or QSL, business for $5,000, excluding costs to sell and certain closing adjustments. See Note 3 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or this Quarterly Report, for more information about the sale of our QSL business. We manage our business as one segment. We make specific disclosures concerning fuel and nonfuel products and services because they facilitate our discussion of trends and operational initiatives within our business and industry. We have a single travel center located in a foreign country, Canada, that we do not consider material to our operations. On March 2, 2022, we entered an agreement to sell our Canadian travel center for C$26,000 (approximately US$20,000), excluding costs to sell and certain closing adjustments. See Note 3 of this Quarterly Report for more information about the potential sale of this travel center. On April 1, 2022, we acquired the assets of the previously franchised travel center sites in Lexington, Virginia and Raphine, Virginia for $51,788, inclusive of certain closing costs and other purchase price adjustments. See Note 3 of this Quarterly Report for more information about the acquisition of the franchised businesses. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, applicable for interim financial statements. The disclosures presented do not include all the information necessary for complete financial statements in accordance with GAAP. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, or our Annual Report. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. While our revenues are modestly seasonal, the quarterly variations in our operating results may reflect greater seasonal differences because our rent expense and certain other costs do not vary seasonally. The current economic conditions have, and may in the future, significantly alter the seasonal aspects of our business. For this and other reasons, our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation within our consolidated financial statements. Fair Value Measurement Senior Notes We collectively refer to our $110,000 of 8.25% Senior Notes due 2028, our $120,000 of 8.00% Senior Notes due 2029 and our $100,000 of 8.00% Senior Notes due 2030 as our Senior Notes, which are our senior unsecured obligations. We estimate that, based on their trading prices (a Level 2 input), the aggregate fair value of our Senior Notes on March 31, 2022, was $337,592. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement and Other Accounting Matters The following table summarizes recent accounting standard updates, or ASUs, issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, that could have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. Standard Description Effective Date Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements Recently Adopted Standards ASU 2021-10 - Government Assistance (Topic 832): Disclosures by Business Entities about Government Assistance This update aims to provide increased transparency by requiring business entities to disclose information about certain types of government assistance they receive in the notes to the financial statements. January 1, 2022 This update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We are pursuing government grants in connection with our efforts to develop and market alternative energy and sustainable resources. We could provide disclosures in the future if we receive material government assistance within the scope of this update. Recently Issued Standards ASU 2021-01 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Scope This update clarifies that certain optional expedients and exceptions for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. January 1, 2023 We are currently assessing whether this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. ASU 2020-04 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the effects of Reference Rate Reform of Financial Reporting This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. January 1, 2023 We are currently assessing whether this update will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenues | RevenuesWe recognize revenues based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, excluding any variable consideration (such as customer loyalty programs and customer rebates) and amounts collected on behalf of third parties (such as sales and excise taxes). The majority of our revenues are generated at the point of sale in our retail locations. Revenues consist of fuel revenues, nonfuel revenues and rents and royalties from franchisees. Disaggregation of Revenues We disaggregate our revenues based on the type of good or service provided to the customer, or by fuel revenues and nonfuel revenues, in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Nonfuel revenues disaggregated by type of good or service for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, were as follows: Three Months Ended 2022 2021 Nonfuel revenues: Store and retail services $ 179,540 $ 171,772 Truck service 188,384 171,131 Restaurant 74,338 73,869 Diesel exhaust fluid 44,820 31,142 Total nonfuel revenues $ 487,082 $ 447,914 Contract Liabilities Our contract liabilities, which are presented in our consolidated balance sheets in other current and other noncurrent liabilities, primarily include deferred revenues related to our customer loyalty programs, gift cards and other deferred revenues. The following table shows the changes in our contract liabilities between periods. Customer Deferred Franchise Fees and Other Total December 31, 2021 26,120 6,156 32,276 Increases due to unsatisfied performance obligations arising during the period 30,837 681 31,518 Revenues recognized from satisfied performance obligations during the period (34,808) (1,485) (36,293) Other 4,807 (429) 4,378 March 31, 2022 $ 26,956 $ 4,923 $ 31,879 As of March 31, 2022, we expect the unsatisfied performance obligations relating to our customer loyalty programs will generally be satisfied within 12 months. As of March 31, 2022, the deferred initial and renewal franchise fee revenue expected to be recognized in future periods ranges between $508 and $526 for each of the years 2022 through 2026. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisition and Disposition Activity | Acquisition and Disposition Activity 2022 Disposition Activity On March 2, 2022, we entered an agreement to sell our travel center located in the city of Woodstock, Ontario, Canada, or Woodstock, for C$26,000 (approximately US$20,000), excluding costs to sell and certain closing adjustments. We classified certain Woodstock assets as held for sale as of March 31, 2022, because the circumstances met the applicable criteria for that treatment as set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. We do not believe that this potential sale represents a strategic shift in our business, and we do not consider the Canadian travel center to be material to our operations. We expect this sale to close during the second quarter of 2022; however, it is subject to certain conditions. Accordingly, we cannot be certain that we will complete this sale, that this sale will not be delayed or that the terms will not change. In connection with the closure of the travel center in April 2022, we recognized $300 of expense for employee termination benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2022. These expenses were included in site level operating expense in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). We expect to recognize an additional $75 of exit costs, primarily employee termination benefits, related to these actions in the second quarter of 2022. We expect to pay these employee termination benefits by the end of the second quarter of 2022. The Woodstock held for sale assets are included in other current assets on our consolidated balance sheets and are comprised of the following: March 31, Inventory $ 422 Property and equipment, net 1,806 Assets held for sale $ 2,228 2021 Disposition Activity On April 21, 2021, we completed the sale of our QSL business for $5,000, excluding costs to sell and certain closing adjustments. We did not treat the sale of QSL as a discontinued operation, as we concluded that its effect was not material and did not represent a strategic shift in our business. As of the date of sale, our QSL business included 41 standalone restaurants in 11 states in the United States operated primarily under the QSL brand name. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a $650 impairment charge relating to our QSL business, primarily resulting from the change in fair value of the underlying assets sold. This charge was included in depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). 2022 Travel Center Acquisitions On April 1, 2022, we acquired the assets of the previously franchised travel center sites in Lexington, Virginia and Raphine, Virginia for $51,788, inclusive of certain closing costs and other purchase price adjustments, in order to expand our company owned network of travel centers. TA Lexington and Petro Raphine are located along a strategic interstate highway corridor, and have been franchise locations since 2011. Operating results of the acquisition will be included in our single travel centers operating segment within the Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on April 1, 2022. We are in the process of determining the fair value of certain identifiable assets, and the purchase price allocation will be completed with finalization of these valuations in future quarters. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
Leasing Transactions | Leasing Transactions As a Lessee We have lease agreements covering many of our properties, as well as various equipment, with the most significant leases being our five leases with Service Properties Trust, or SVC, which are further described below. Certain of our leases include renewal options, and certain leases include escalation clauses and purchase options. Renewal periods are included in calculating our operating lease assets and liabilities when they are reasonably certain. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, most of our SVC Leases (as defined below), the leases covering our other properties and most of our equipment leases were classified as operating leases and certain of our other equipment leases and one ground lease pursuant to one SVC Lease were classified as finance leases. Finance lease assets were included in other noncurrent assets other current liabilities other noncurrent liabilities Leasing Agreements with SVC As of March 31, 2022, we leased from SVC a total of 179 properties under five leases. We refer to these five leases collectively as the SVC Leases. The SVC Leases expire between 2029 and 2035, subject to our right to extend those leases. We have two renewal options of 15 years under each of the SVC Leases. On March 9, 2021, we and SVC amended one of the SVC Leases to reflect the renewal of a third party ground lease at one of the 179 travel center properties that we lease from SVC. This ground lease, which was previously accounted for as an operating lease, is now accounted for as a finance lease. As a result of this ground lease modification, we recorded $28,201 in other noncurrent assets, $1,158 in other current liabilities and $27,046 in other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets in the first quarter of 2021. We recognized total real estate rent expense under the SVC Leases of $63,907 and $61,003 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Leasing Transactions | Leasing Transactions As a Lessee We have lease agreements covering many of our properties, as well as various equipment, with the most significant leases being our five leases with Service Properties Trust, or SVC, which are further described below. Certain of our leases include renewal options, and certain leases include escalation clauses and purchase options. Renewal periods are included in calculating our operating lease assets and liabilities when they are reasonably certain. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. As of March 31, 2022, most of our SVC Leases (as defined below), the leases covering our other properties and most of our equipment leases were classified as operating leases and certain of our other equipment leases and one ground lease pursuant to one SVC Lease were classified as finance leases. Finance lease assets were included in other noncurrent assets other current liabilities other noncurrent liabilities Leasing Agreements with SVC As of March 31, 2022, we leased from SVC a total of 179 properties under five leases. We refer to these five leases collectively as the SVC Leases. The SVC Leases expire between 2029 and 2035, subject to our right to extend those leases. We have two renewal options of 15 years under each of the SVC Leases. On March 9, 2021, we and SVC amended one of the SVC Leases to reflect the renewal of a third party ground lease at one of the 179 travel center properties that we lease from SVC. This ground lease, which was previously accounted for as an operating lease, is now accounted for as a finance lease. As a result of this ground lease modification, we recorded $28,201 in other noncurrent assets, $1,158 in other current liabilities and $27,046 in other noncurrent liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets in the first quarter of 2021.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | Contingencies Environmental Contingencies Extensive environmental laws regulate our operations and properties. These laws may require us to investigate and clean up hazardous substances, including petroleum or natural gas products, released at our owned and leased properties. Governmental entities or third parties may hold us liable for property damage and personal injuries, and for investigation, remediation and monitoring costs incurred in connection with any contamination and regulatory compliance at our locations. We use both underground storage tanks and above ground storage tanks to store petroleum products, natural gas and other hazardous substances at our locations. We must comply with environmental laws regarding tank construction, integrity testing, leak detection and monitoring, overfill and spill control, release reporting and financial assurance for corrective action in the event of a release. Investigation and remediation of both surface spills and subsurface releases is handled by contracted third party consultants and managed by TA's Environmental Department. At some locations we must also comply with environmental laws relative to vapor recovery or discharges to water. Under the terms of the SVC Leases, we generally have agreed to indemnify SVC for any environmental liabilities related to properties that we lease from SVC and we are required to pay all environmental related expenses incurred in the operation of the leased properties. We have entered into certain other arrangements in which we have agreed to indemnify third parties for environmental liabilities and expenses resulting from our operations. From time to time we have received, and in the future likely will receive, notices of alleged violations of environmental laws or otherwise have become or will become aware of the need to undertake corrective actions to comply with environmental laws at our locations. Investigatory and remedial actions were, and regularly are, undertaken with respect to releases of hazardous substances at our locations. In some cases we have received, and may receive in the future, contributions to partially offset our environmental costs from insurers, from state funds established for environmental clean up associated with the sale of petroleum products or from indemnitors who agreed to fund certain environmental related costs at locations purchased from those indemnitors. To the extent we incur material amounts for environmental matters for which we do not receive or expect to receive insurance or other third party reimbursement and for which we have not previously recorded a liability, our operating results may be materially adversely affected. In addition, to the extent we fail to comply with environmental laws and regulations, or we become subject to costs and requirements not similarly experienced by our competitors, our competitive position may be harmed. As of March 31, 2022, we had an accrued liability of $3,090 for environmental matters as well as a receivable for expected recoveries of certain of these estimated future expenditures of $749, resulting in an estimated net amount of $2,341 that we expect to fund in the future. We cannot precisely know the ultimate costs we may incur in connection with currently known environmental related violations, corrective actions, investigation and remediation; however, we do not expect the costs for such matters to be material, individually or in the aggregate, to our financial position or results of operations. We currently have insurance of up to $20,000 per incident and up to $20,000 in the aggregate for certain environmental liabilities, subject, in each case, to certain limitations and deductibles. Our current insurance policy expires in June 2024 and we can provide no assurance that we will be able to maintain similar environmental insurance coverage in the future on acceptable terms. We cannot predict the ultimate effect of changing circumstances and changing environmental laws may have on us in the future or the ultimate outcome of matters currently pending. We cannot be certain that contamination presently unknown to us does not exist at our sites, or that a material liability will not be imposed on us in the future. If we discover additional environmental issues, or if government agencies impose additional environmental requirements, increased environmental compliance or remediation expenditures may be required, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Legal Proceedings We are routinely involved in various legal and administrative proceedings incidental to the ordinary course of business, including commercial disputes, employment related claims, wage and hour claims, premises liability claims and tax audits among others. We do not expect that any litigation or administrative proceedings in which we are presently involved, or of which we are aware, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. |

These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, or our Annual Report. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. While our revenues are modestly seasonal, the quarterly variations in our operating results may reflect greater seasonal differences because our rent expense and certain other costs do not vary seasonally. The current economic conditions have, and may in the future, significantly alter the seasonal aspects of our business. For this and other reasons, our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. |
Reclassifications | Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation within our consolidated financial statements. |

Revenue Recognition | We recognize revenues based on the consideration specified in the contract with the customer, excluding any variable consideration (such as customer loyalty programs and customer rebates) and amounts collected on behalf of third parties (such as sales and excise taxes). The majority of our revenues are generated at the point of sale in our retail locations. Revenues consist of fuel revenues, nonfuel revenues and rents and royalties from franchisees. |
Leasing Transactions | Certain of our leases include renewal options, and certain leases include escalation clauses and purchase options. Renewal periods are included in calculating our operating lease assets and liabilities when they are reasonably certain. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recognized in our consolidated balance sheets. |
