Answer 1

Expedia is a travel website which primarily offers to book for flights, hotels, vacation rentals, vehicle rentals, and activities. It is a place which organizes each and every detail of travelling details. The ‘my trip’ section is helpful for managing the entire itinerary. One can earn Expedia points by signing up on the website. Expedia offers suggestions for date shifts and route changes. It coordinates the whole vacation itinerary on one platform. However, Expedia is not useful for single bookings. It is known best for bundle bookings.
On the other hand, Priceline also offers flights, hotels, rental hotels and cars. It has an ‘express deals’ option which rewards flexible travelers with up to 60% savings on hotel bookings. The site also provides location details and star ratings which are not observed in Expedia. There are many options for beds. Single booking is also available on this site. The cruise selection is much easier than Expedia. Travelers who are searching for low budget hotels, Priceline is appropriate for them. However, Priceline is not best for low risk-takers and travel destination guides.
