Uber partners with Expedia to add hotel bookings to app

2 min readUpdated April 29, 2026

Uber $UBER announced a partnership with Expedia $EXPE Group earlier this week to bring hotel bookings into its app, the latest step in the company's effort to position itself as a single platform for travel, rides, and food delivery.

Unveiled at Uber's annual GO-GET event in New York, the new feature uses Expedia's inventory to show over 700,000 hotel listings for U.S. users. These can be found under a new 'hotels' tab on the app's home screen. Users can filter results by price, guest ratings, hotel class, brand, and amenities, and pay using their saved Uber payment method. Vrbo listings, also owned by Expedia, are expected to be added before the end of the year.

Uber $UBER One subscribers get at least 20% off at a rotating selection of 10,000 hotels, plus 10% of each booking’s value back as Uber Credits. These credits are added to the user’s account on the day they check in. By the fourth quarter of 2025, Uber One had 46 million members, which is a 55% increase from the previous year.

By entering hotel bookings, Uber is stepping onto turf long held by players like Booking Holdings $BKNG and Airbnb $ABNB, CNBC noted.

Uber also introduced several new features at the event. Starting June 1, Uber One members will get ride credits and free delivery fees internationally, with rewards available when they return to the U.S. A new 'travel mode' will highlight local attractions and dining options. In some cities, riders booking Uber Black or Uber Black SUV can pre-order food or drinks through Uber Eats for their driver to pick up. A voice assistant powered by OpenAI lets riders say where they want to go and get personalized options before booking. Another feature, 'Shop for Me,' allows users to send a shopper to stores that are not on Uber Eats.

The hotel partnership is part of a broader push by Uber into premium and travel-adjacent services. The company recently agreed to acquire Blacklane, a Berlin-based chauffeur booking platform operating in more than 500 cities across 60-plus countries, in a deal aimed at accelerating its move into executive and luxury travel. Uber has also expanded its delivery business well beyond food — a returns feature launched at Uber Eats earlier this year allows shoppers to hand off unwanted retail purchases to a courier for a refund without leaving home.
