Kayak, the plane-booking service, released an upgrade on Tuesday for its iPad app, adding car reservation and trip-planning tools while introducing a brand-new design.
The app, available as a free download in Apple’s App Store, allows users to book cars through popular rental services like Alamo and Avis.
Kayak’s redesign includes the ability to reserve rental cars.For planning trips, the Kayak app includes an itinerary manager for adding flight departure and arrival details, as well as lodging locations and check-in times.
The trip planner had previously been exclusive to the iPhone version of the Kayak app, but with Tuesday’s update, the app has now been unified so that the same features are available on both the iPhone and iPad versions.
Begun in 2005, Kayak is an online travel-booking service allowing customers to search for deals on plane tickets, rental cars and hotels offered by a wide range of companies.
