About Kayak
**The problem it solves** Travelers searching for flights, hotels, rental cars, and vacation packages across dozens of supplier sites face inconsistent pricing, fragmented search, and time-consuming comparison shopping. **What Kayak does** Kayak is a Stamford, Connecticut-based travel metasearch engine founded in 2004. Acquired by Booking Holdings in 2013, it operates as a subsidiary alongside Booking.com, Priceline, and Agoda, serving travelers globally across flights, hotels, vacation rentals, rental cars, and packages. **How it works** Kayak aggregates real-time pricing from airlines, hotel chains, OTAs, and car rental companies, then redirects travelers to the supplier or OTA to complete the booking, earning a cost-per-click referral fee or commission per transaction. Price Alert notifies travelers when fares on saved searches change, Explore enables open-destination discovery by budget, and Trips organizes itineraries across booking sources. For vacation rentals, Kayak aggregates inventory from Booking.com, Vrbo, and other OTAs. Kayak for Business serves corporate travel management, and the company's technology underlies white-label metasearch products for airlines. The platform is available in about 20 languages across 30 countries. **Who it's for** Consumer travelers globally comparing and booking travel, travel suppliers and OTAs seeking referral volume, and corporate travel managers using Kayak for Business.
