Whether you’re booking a flight, hotel or rental car, KAYAK searches hundreds of other travel sites at once to find you the information you need to make the right decision. You probably already know us for search, but did you know KAYAK also has many other useful tricks that help make planning and managing your travel even better?

Use “map view” to see what’s around your hotel.
Want to stay near where the party is (or isn’t)? Select “Map View” during a hotel search to pull up a heat map showing a hotel’s proximity to popular shopping, eating, sightseeing or nightlife areas.
-
Set Price Alerts to find the best deal.
Planning a trip to Grandma’s in Boca? Find out when prices change with Price Alerts, which searches while you’re offline and notifies you with a text or email when hotel rates or airfare change.
-
Compare fares to see if straying from your loyalty program is worth it.
It’s not cheating if you use KAYAK to see how fares from your favorite airline match up to competitors. Because KAYAK is a search engine, not a retailer, we’re not trying to sell you anything. Instead, we’re showing you what you need to know to choose your best option.
-
Book two one-ways with Hacker Fares to save money.
Ever wonder if booking two one-way tickets would be less expensive than round-trip? “Hacker Fare” results in flight searches combine multiple one-way flights to get you the best price on airfare.
-
Save up to 35% on rental cars.
Instead of searching dozens of different websites when trying to find the best prices on rental cars, KAYAK’s car search searches all of these sites (and more) at once to show you the best prices for your ideal rental with savings of up to 35%.
-
Organize your travel (and life) with KAYAK Trips.
An upcoming trip shouldn’t mean a messy inbox. KAYAK Trips is your free personal travel assistant that organizes all of your booking details (including loyalty program and confirmation numbers) in one easy-to-read itinerary. Need to share your plans with others? Easily send your itinerary to whomever you choose.
-
Add events to your KAYAK Trips itinerary, no matter where they were booked.
Whether you’re heading to a concert, gallery opening, conference or the beach, you can add any event to your Trips itinerary, regardless of where it was booked.If you’re a Gmail user, you can even activate Trips Email Sync and turn booking confirmation emails and receipts into itineraries, automatically. Other users can simply forward these confirmations to trips@kayak.com and the event will automatically be added to your schedule. If you don’t have a receipt (or like to keep it old school) you can always enter the details by hand.
