Turo already delivers cars to travelers. Now it wants hotels, vacation rentals, and travel platforms to help sell them.

📅 On Thursday, Google rolled out a new feature in the U.S., integrating AI chat for hotel bookings. Users can now search, compare, and pay for hotels directly through Google's platform using Google Pay. The feature partners with major brands like Booking.com, Hilton, and Marriott. While Google facilitates the booking process, the hotel or OTA handles charges, confirmations, and support. This development enhances Google's agentic travel booking capabilities.
