Do they pay for their own hotel, rent a car? All that stuff?

Depending on the contract.
All lower tier guys pay for rental car/hotels/food but the plane tickets are paid by the company.

I was going to make a thread similar to this, but completely forgot to.
Do they book the hotels/flights or is there a section in the company like in HR to sort it all for them (instead of adding extra stress on the road)? I assume if flights are paid by the company, then they book them as well?
Kind of off topic, but I asked this question on here the other day but I don't think it got answered: Do current employe's/alumni/legends get discount or free merch/PPVs/DVD's/ etc? The reason I ask because JR/Jericho said they have paid for PPV's before, but that was when they were both at home/not working for whatever reason (during Jericho's first break from the company)

Basically other than WrestleMania, the E sends you a plane ticket for the first show of the loop and then you're on your own to find lodging/food/transportation to the rest of the shows that week.
They put everyone up in a decent hotel for Mania.

Thanks, i see, that makes sense.

I'm pretty sure wrestlers pay for hotel accommodations. Punk's BluRay has a story of him, Miz, and about six other guys trying to get the rate lowered on the last room available at a hotel in about 2007 or so.

They put everyone up in a decent hotel for Mania. Don't quote me on that, but I want to say that WWE also pays for talent's hotels/travel on overseas tours. And the two WWE road stories books basically confirm the fact that talent needs to pay for pretty much everything and goes into detail about a couple of the nastier places that people have ended up at.
