Uber Integrates Hotel Bookings with Expedia in its Super App Push

Uber has expanded its services to include hotel bookings in partnership with Expedia. The move positions Uber as a one-stop-shop for travel, offering users the ability to book hotels, hail rides, and access other services through its app . With the integration, users can book hotels by tapping the 'Hotels' button on the app's home screen and using various filters to find suitable hotels . Uber One members receive discounts and a 10% rebate on their booking payments .

The new feature is available in the US and is part of Uber's efforts to become a 'super app' for travel . The company's annual Go/Get product event unveiled several other travel-oriented features, including reservations for hotels . While Expedia's hotel list contains over 700,000 options, the current partnership is an expansion into the accommodations space for the company .

While Uber is touting the potential cost savings of using its new hotel booking feature, The Washington Post tested it and reports a mixed experience. Nonetheless, this marks a significant stride for the company in making its super app vision a reality.
