Uber Technologies Inc. is adding hotel bookings to its app through a new partnership with Expedia Group Inc., starting in the US. The integration will allow customers to earn 10% back in credits on every hotel booking through the paid Uber One program. Vacation rentals from Expedia's Vrbo brand will be added later this year. Uber ride bookings will also be added to the Expedia app in June. The partnership is part of Uber's efforts to expand into the travel market and create an 'everything platform'. Uber's Chief Product Officer Sachin Kansal said that hotel bookings are a strategic addition, as the company already helps many travelers get to their hotels and deliver them food or travel amenities. Uber is also investing in improving its app, including an updated search bar and an OpenAI-powered voice booking tool.
