Uber has partnered with Expedia Group to enable its customers to book hotels and accommodation directly in the Uber app.
Currently only available in the US, the platform is expected to eventually grow to more than 700 000 properties in destinations across the world.
Uber rides will also be integrated in the Expedia app beginning in June. Travellers will receive push notifications before their hotel check-in date to book Uber rides at a discount for the duration of their trip.
Uber also introduced Travel Mode in the Uber and Uber Eats apps, offering travellers curated recommendations on local favourites, popular tourist destinations, hotel delivery options and help with essentials they may have forgotten.
