Uber is strategically expanding beyond its core ride-hailing and delivery services, with a new focus on travel as a "third leg of the stool." The company has partnered with Expedia to offer hotel bookings, introduced boat rentals in Europe, and launched a "shop for me" concierge feature. Kansal notes that 1.5 billion trips annually occur outside users' home cities, making travel a natural extension. However, Uber is deliberately avoiding the "everything app" model seen in Asian super-apps, instead relying on expert partners for services like buy now, pay later.
