Airbnb is partnering with Instacart to offer grocery delivery in select U.S. rentals. The service will allow guests to order groceries through the app before or during their stay.
The three-month pilot will begin on January 5 and will be available to select hosts in Phoenix, Orlando, and Los Angeles.
Guests will be able to place orders through Instacart up to three weeks before their arrival, and participating hosts will be paid to stock their kitchens with the groceries.
The move is part of Airbnb’s strategy to offer additional services within the app. The app has already offered services like meal prep and fitness classes since May.
Instacart has also recently partnered with other platforms, including Grubhub, to increase order volume and compete with rivals like DoorDash and Uber.
