In April, Uber began offering hotel bookings in the U.S. through a partnership with Expedia. Now, it’s expanded that support to Canada, making it the second global market to receive it.
With the Hotels on Uber feature, Canadians can search, book and secure rides to a variety of hotels right from within the app. Uber will eventually grow supported hotels to more than 700,000 properties around the world. You can find the new Hotels section under the ‘Services’ tab.
Here are some images of the feature in action:
With the Expedia integration, you’ll be able to search a destination, select a desired property and then learn more about its pricing, amenities, location, reviews and more. Uber One members will also get 10 per cent back in Uber credits on booking, plus savings on a curated list of over 10,000 hotels.
Hotels on Uber is part of the company’s wider push to become an “everything” app when it comes to travel. This includes its core ride-hailing and food delivery business alongside the likes of courier services and rental cars. It’s also adding features to bolster these services, including a Travel Mode that suggests local recommendations, OpenTable restaurant bookings and in-app “room service” delivery when you arrive in a new city.
