Expedia is a major online travel agency where shoppers can book hotels, flights, car hire, packages and activities. It is useful for customers who want a single place to compare different parts of a trip rather than visiting separate airline and hotel websites.

The site is particularly helpful for building city breaks, multi-night hotel stays and fly-drive trips. Expedia Rewards members can also collect and use benefits on eligible bookings, which can make repeat travel more appealing.

Expedia works well for flexible travellers who want breadth of choice and plenty of filters. Because cancellation terms can vary by airline, hotel or provider, shoppers should read the fare and room rules before paying.
