Renting a trade show booth shouldn’t mean settling for a generic pop-up or a modular kit that looks like everyone else’s. Highway 85 builds custom rental exhibits in-house in Phoenix, designed and fabricated the same way we build our owned-booth programs. You get a booth that reflects your brand, sized and configured for your specific show, without the long-term capital commitment of purchasing.
If you’re comparing trade show booth rental companies, the real question isn’t just cost. It’s whether the rental partner can deliver a booth that actually looks custom, on your timeline, at your show.
Rental makes sense for exhibitors who show at multiple venues with different footprints, who are testing a new market or show before committing to a purchase, or who want to refresh their look every season without redesigning from scratch. It also works well for companies managing unpredictable show calendars, where owning and storing a booth adds cost and logistics overhead that doesn’t pay off.
If your show schedule is fixed and your footprint doesn’t change year to year, owning may make more financial sense long term. We’ll tell you that directly during a discovery call rather than push a rental program that doesn’t fit your program.
Renting doesn’t mean picking from a catalog. Our design and engineering team builds a custom layout for your brand, including a full 3D rendering before anything hits the shop floor, the same process we use for owned booths.
Every configuration is engineered to your specific show requirements, including weight, drayage, and local fire marshal specs for the venue you’re exhibiting at.
Rental and custom ownership solve different problems.
give you flexibility. You don’t own the structure, so you can change your design before every show
give you predictability. You know exactly what the booth weighs and how long it takes to set up, which makes it easier to estimate labor, shipping, and drayage costs across every show on your calendar.
