yes, as sonny said, tire rack will rent the techart style tool, although there is usually a month or two wait. I used one to roll the fenders on a vw GTI I had, for track tire clearance and it worked amazingly well. use plenty of heat and take your time.
I have also done another car using the Louisville method. a little bit of blue painter's tape on the inside fender lip will help protect your paint, although it's not really necessary. heat and patience is the secret

After using the procedure I explained above, I wouldn't bother with renting a roller personally. The bat method is really that easy. If your car is so low that the bat doesn't fit, you can jack up the rear on the engine until it does.
