GoKawiilAirbnb launched a major iOS and Android app redesign a year ago. The updated app surfaced new experiences to have on vacation beyond just where you choose to stay.
Now Airbnb is further transforming its app into an all-in-one destination for managing your next trip by integrating four useful new services.
The new Airbnb app is also leveraging AI with three new features, and the service is expanding the types of destinations you can book.
Airbnb app integrating four new services that are key to trip planning
The new app extends Airbnb Services beyond things like photography, cooking, and wellness that were integrated a year ago.
This year, Airbnb is expanding the category to include grocery delivery, airport pickups, luggage storage, and car rentals. These are all things that previously meant bouncing between different apps and services.
Airbnb is also giving travelers new incentives for using these four new Airbnb Services. Here’s how each service works, and which perks are included:
Grocery delivery – Have groceries waiting at your Airbnb when you arrive, or order them any time during your trip. In select cities, hosts can even receive the order and pre-stock your home before you check in. Airbnb guests get $0 delivery and $10 off an order of $50 or more. Available in over 25 US cities in partnership with Instacart.
