Introducing car rentals, grocery delivery, airport pickups, exclusive FIFA World Cup 2026™ Experiences, boutique hotels, and more—making your entire trip even better.
Last year, we expanded Airbnb beyond homes with the launch of Airbnb Experiences and Airbnb Services. For the first time, you could book a place to stay, explore a city with a local, and have a private chef cook you dinner, all on Airbnb. Since then, millions of people around the world have done exactly that.
This summer, we’re going further. We’re adding new categories of services to make every part of your trip easier, and new experiences you can only find on Airbnb — including exclusive access to the FIFA World Cup 2026. We’re also bringing boutique and independent hotels to Airbnb. And we’re upgrading the app with AI-powered tools to help you find the perfect place to stay, plan your trip, and get help the moment you need it.
“Travel shouldn’t just be convenient. It should be meaningful. The best trips help you explore, learn, and come home a little different than when you left. That’s what we’re building at Airbnb. And this summer, we’re giving people even more ways to do it — from incredible places to stay and boutique hotels that feel like Airbnb, to unforgettable World Cup experiences and services that make your trip easier,” said Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of Airbnb.
New Airbnb Services
A great stay starts before you check in. That’s why Airbnb is adding new services for every part of your trip — from the moment you land to the moment you leave.
The new services include grocery delivery, airport pickups, luggage storage, and car rentals. Grocery delivery will allow groceries to be waiting at an Airbnb when guests arrive, while airport pickups can be booked through Welcome Pickups. Luggage storage is offered through Bounce, and rental cars will be discoverable directly in the app.
Experiences And Boutique Hotels
This summer, Airbnb is adding thousands more experiences led by local experts across landmarks, food culture, and events. FIFA World Cup 2026 experiences will also be available across six host cities.
Airbnb is also bringing thousands of boutique and independent hotels to the platform, with properties selected for neighbourhood location, design, and hospitality.
New Ways To Plan And Travel
The updated Airbnb app includes AI review highlights, AI-powered comparison tools, shared itinerary features, connections and travel map, and AI-powered customer support available worldwide in 11 languages.
