Uber and Expedia announced a two-way partnership on Tuesday, bringing hotel bookings into the Uber app and Uber rides into the Expedia app.
The deal was revealed at Uber’s annual GO-GET product event. U.S. users can now search and book from more than 700,000 hotels worldwide through a new “Hotels” tab on the Uber home screen.
There’s a personal thread here too. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi ran Expedia before joining Uber in 2017. This reunion of sorts is now official business.

Uber One subscribers get the best of the deal. Members save at least 20% on a rotating selection of over 10,000 hotels and earn 10% back in Uber credits on any hotel booking made through the app.
Users can filter results by price, ratings, and amenities, and pay using their existing Uber wallet. No new account or app needed.
Vrbo listings — Expedia’s vacation rental platform — will be added to the Uber app later in 2026. The hotel feature is the first phase of what looks like a broader travel push.
The partnership runs both ways. Starting in June, Uber rides will be bookable inside the Expedia app. Travelers will also get notifications ahead of hotel check-in dates, prompting them to book discounted Uber rides.
Uber used the GO-GET event to roll out several features beyond hotels. A new “Travel Mode” offers curated local recommendations, restaurant reservations via OpenTable, and in-room delivery.
The company also launched “Shop for Me,” letting users request items from stores not currently listed on Uber Eats. In select cities, riders booking Uber Black or Uber Black SUV can pre-order snacks or drinks directly with their ride.
AI-powered voice booking and a redesigned unified search — covering rides, food, and retail in one place — are also rolling out. Uber is clearly pushing toward the “super app” model: one platform, many services.
Uber One membership stood at 46 million users as of Q4 2025, a 55% jump from the year before. That subscriber base is central to how Uber is packaging these new perks.
Expedia CEO Ariane Gorin said the partnership connects both platforms through Expedia’s Rapid API technology, making the inventory integration possible at scale.
Expedia’s stock was up around 3.2% on the news. The company carries a market cap of roughly $30.3 billion and posted $14.73 billion in revenue over the last twelve months.
Jefferies recently upgraded Expedia to “Buy” with a price target of $300, citing expectations for high single-digit lodging bookings growth. Morgan Stanley raised its target to $290 following strong Q4 earnings.
Expedia also named Derek Andersen as its incoming CFO, effective May 11, 2026, replacing Scott Schenkel who departs after the company’s Q1 earnings call.
