Uber Adds In-App Hotel Booking Through Expedia in Super App Push

The move signals a bid to lock in subscribers by tying travel, rides, delivery into one app.

Overview

  • Uber, at its Go-Get event Wednesday, turned on U.S. in-app hotel booking powered by Expedia with access to more than 700,000 properties.
  • Uber One members get at least 20% off a rotating list of about 10,000 hotels plus 10% back in Uber Credits on bookings made in the app.
  • Vacation rentals from Vrbo arrive later in 2026 while Expedia will add Uber ride booking to its app in June.
  • Uber is rolling out an OpenAI-powered voice assistant and a Travel Mode that adds city guides, airport directions, and table bookings through OpenTable.
  • Users may save versus direct rates, though hotel loyalty credit often will not apply and customer support routes through Expedia.
