How to save at Expedia
Exclusive Expedia discount codes
Whether you’ve got an upcoming business trip or are planning your next holiday, our exclusive code will save you six per cent on your hotel stay. You can use it on up to ten bookings for trips taken before October 2026, giving you plenty of opportunities to save on travel.
Join the Expedia One Key programme
If you love to travel, joining One Key – Expedia’s loyalty programme – is a no-brainer. It’s free to join and rewards you every time you book, whether it’s a hotel, holiday rental, flight, car hire or activity. As an Expedia member, you’ll unlock exclusive savings, earn rewards and enjoy extra perks that get better the more you travel.
One of the best benefits is the Expedia member discount, which saves up to 25 per cent on hotels when booking a flight at the same time. That’s on top of member-only offers, VIP hotels and points to use towards your next trip.
Expedia’s One Key programme is an easy way to save on future bookings (Expedia)One Key members can also earn OneKeyCash, which gives you up to six per cent back per £1 spent. You can redeem these points on future hotel stays, holiday rentals, flights, car rentals and activities. To earn OneKeyCash, simply book your travel through Expedia and the percentage you earn depends on what you book. Each OneKeyCash point equals £1 towards eligible bookings, which can be applied at checkout to reduce your total.
With Expedia One Key rewards, you’ll get 10 per cent or more off thousands of hotels worldwide thanks to its exclusive member prices. You’ll progress through the membership tiers the more you book, each with extra benefits such as free room upgrades, early check-in, late check-out and exclusive offers.

Expedia’s hotel price guarantee lets One Key members claim back the difference if they find a lower rate after booking. To qualify, the cheaper rate must match your booking exactly, e.g. the same hotel, room type, dates, occupancy and cancellation policy. Claims need to be submitted online by 11:59pm local time the day before check-in, with a screenshot and link showing the lower price. If approved, Expedia will either rebook your stay at the cheaper rate or refund the difference, sometimes as OneKeyCash.
Expedia student discount
Students can currently get 10 per cent off Expedia bookings through Unidays. This exclusive student offer isn’t always around, so be sure to take advantage whilst you can. If you’re not already a member, simply verify your university email for free to redeem your unique Expedia discount code. The discount even applies to last-minute bookings and selected hotel deals, so keep an eye out for those extra savings.
Download the Expedia app
Another smart way to save is by downloading the Expedia app, which will see you unlock even more travel savings. With up to 20 per cent off hotels, along with price tracking for flights, you’ll always know the best time to book.
Last-minute deals
If your next weekend getaway can’t come soon enough, we’d recommend taking a look at Expedia’s last-minute deals page. This lesser-known section of the travel site will see you save at least 20 per cent on spontaneous trips to hundreds of popular destinations, including Barcelona, Paris, Lisbon, Dubai and Istanbul.
In general, though, you’ll pretty much always find a 10 per cent discount, so be sure to take a look around before you sign into a deal. However, if you make a booking that you then decide to change, you can rest easy knowing that you have free cancellation.
Group savings
If you’re travelling with a large party and require nine rooms or more, you can get a group discount on your total. Simply complete the request form on the group bookings page, and you will be provided with a personalised quote. This option is ideal for weddings, extended family holidays, corporate events or sports teams.
Helpful information and tips

We’ve got plenty of saving tips to help you save with Expedia (Expedia)Set price alerts for flights
Make monitoring flight prices easy with Expedia’s price alerts. This tool, which is free to all app users, notifies you as soon as fares change on flights you’re tracking. Visit your account to set an alert for the specific routes, dates and cabin classes you are interested in booking and Expedia does the rest for you.
Get price drop protection for your flight
With Expedia price drop protection, you don’t have to worry about the price dropping after you book. Secure your booking when you’re comfortable with the price, with peace of mind that you will still benefit from the cheaper price if it falls. The tool automatically checks flight prices every 24 hours, and if a lower fare is found, the difference will be refunded to your original payment method or to your OneKeyCash account after your trip. Price drop protection is free for Gold and Platinum One Key members or available for a fee for non-members, based on the cost of your ticket.
Expedia now offers Ryanair flights
Great news for flyers – Expedia has officially added Ryanair flights to its platform, so you can now find returns from as little as £44. Better still, if you bundle your Ryanair booking with a hotel or car hire, you can save up to 25 per cent as a package deal. Since flights also count as a trip element, booking Ryanair through Expedia will help you climb faster through the One Key tiers.
Helpful travel tips
As everyone knows, advance planning can be one of the best ways to save money. If you book your holiday in advance, you’ll often have access to the most competitive prices and best availability. Travel expert, Sarah Marshall, explains in her guide to the best time to book holidays that booking short-haul flights five months in advance can save you just under 50 per cent on your total bill, whereas six months is the recommended timeframe for long-haul getaways.
We’d also recommend getting ahead of the game and booking your airport parking and travel insurance, too, and then consider booking activities and car hire in advance so that you don’t have to miss out.
