Submit Suggestion

Expedia is an American online travel agency run by Expedia Group in Seattle. It sells flights, hotels, rental cars, package holidays and activities, and the group also owns Hotels.com and Vrbo and holds a majority stake in trivago. Europe has no single provider with the same breadth, but every part of an Expedia trip has European options.

European alternatives for each part of the trip

  • Flights: European airlines such as Lufthansa, Air France, KLM or Ryanair sell tickets directly on their own websites, and eDreams ODIGEO, Skyscanner and Kiwi.com compare and sell flights.
  • Hotels: European hotel chains such as Accor, Meliá or Scandic, and portals such as HRS (business travel) and lastminute.com.
  • Rental cars: European car rental companies such as Sixt, Europcar and Goldcar.
  • Package holidays: TUI, HolidayCheck, lastminute.com and CHECK24.
  • Activities: GetYourGuide for tours and tickets at the destination.

Portals on this page

TUI is a tour operator from Hanover, CHECK24 a comparison portal from Munich, lastminute.com sells flights, hotels and package holidays, and HRS focuses on hotels for business travel. HolidayCheck combines hotel reviews with package holidays, eDreams ODIGEO from Madrid is a flight agency under the brands eDreams, Opodo and GO Voyages, and Skyscanner and Kiwi.com are flight search engines. Booking.com, trivago, Skyscanner and Kiwi.com have European offices, but belong to Booking Holdings, Expedia Group, Trip.com Group and General Atlantic, so they are marked as having a non-European parent. For holiday homes see the page alternatives to Airbnb, for hotel booking alternatives to Hotels.com.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a European Expedia?

Not with the same breadth. lastminute.com and TUI come closest for flights, hotels and package holidays, while HRS specialises in hotels.

Is trivago a European alternative to Expedia?

trivago is a hotel search engine with an operational base in Düsseldorf, but Expedia Group holds 59.2 percent of its shares.

Can flights be booked without a portal?

Yes. Almost all airlines sell directly, and many show the same fare as portals.
