I rented a trailer from U-Haul for the burn in 2011. I got the 5'x9' Utility Trailer and am sure it would have fit my panels laying down, but I didn't use it for that as I had a small mutated vehicle I needed bring. I didn't mention I was going to Burning Man, but I did tell them I'm going out of state and back with it but they didn't ask for any details so I just didn't bring it up. The trailer was pretty beat up to begin with, so when I got back I just hosed it down, brought it back and didn't have any problems.
That being said, I've also always brought a standard H12 on the roof rack of either a Ford Ranger or Toyota Tacoma (Camper shell on the back with roof rack) since 2010. I use tie downs and the normal methods of sandwiching between plywood and have never had any problems. In 2013 I ended up buying a 6'x12' Utility Trailer so I could bring my mutant vehicle and gear a bit easier, was tired of renting year after year. If your looking into a trailer, depending on what size you get, you may spend upwards of $150-$200+. If your thinking of going again in the future, it may be worth while trying to invest in a small 4'x8' trailer like they have at Harbor Freight. They do have some that fold down as well, for easy storage. Check these out: http://www.harborfreight.com/1195-lb-capacity-48-inch-x-96-inch-heavy-duty-foldable-utility-trailer-with-12-inch-wheels-90154.html . They have a couple different ones, and Harbor Freight has these on sale from time to time or you can use a 20% off coupon (which they frequently have available as well). You could easily use these and with some good tie downs they sell to secure your hexayurt and gear.
