Uber unveiled a major new push into the travel space on Wednesday, partnering with Expedia to offer hotel bookings via the Uber app. They also provided some pretty compelling reasons to consider booking hotels via Uber.
The Uber Travel news was just a small part of a slew of announcements from the ride-sharing and delivery company in downtown Manhattan at what Uber called their Go-Get 2026 event.
The most intriguing aspect of the new partnership from a consumer perspective is the potential savings that could stack up for a savvy traveler. Normally, I might not recommend booking via an online travel agency like Expedia, but the saving here could really add up. Not only can you save up to 20% on many properties, but if you are an Uber One customer, you get 10% back of whatever you book as Uber One credits.
