Airbnb and Instacart Pilot Kitchen Stocking Service for Vacation Rentals
Airbnb is launching a three-month pilot program in January 2026, partnering with Instacart to offer a 'kitchen stocking' service for vacation rentals. The initiative will allow guests to pre-order groceries via the Airbnb app, with deliveries available in select Phoenix, Orlando, and Los Angeles listings. Hosts participating in the program will earn $25 per order and a $100 bonus for their first completed delivery.
The MOVE underscores Airbnb's broader strategy to evolve into a comprehensive lifestyle platform. Earlier this year, the company introduced 'Airbnb Services,' a suite of add-ons including cleaning, childcare, and now grocery delivery. The pilot aligns with Airbnb's focus on longer-term stays and remote work solutions, featuring programs like 'Live and Work Anywhere' and partnerships with cities to promote extended travel.
