Uber has launched an in-app “Hotels” tab in partnership with Expedia Group, letting riders browse and book stays directly from the Uber home screen. Users can filter by price, ratings, and amenities, then complete bookings using their existing Uber wallet. The move aims to deepen engagement and create fresh revenue as Uber expands beyond rides into broader travel services.
Uber is partnering with Expedia to add in-app hotel bookings, turning the ride hailing app into a broader travel hub. Uber One members will receive hotel discounts and credits, alongside new tools like unified search and AI voice booking. Uber says vacation rentals will follow later this year, while international Uber One benefits begin in June.
