There are businesses who do paintless dent removal from hail and other accidents. I have a friend who works at a car dealership who says these guys do a pretty nice job. Google "Paintless dent removal" and you might find local mobile b usinesses or shops who dom this. way cheaper than a body shop....Hope it's not to badly dinged up...Ouch!

PDR is the best way to go, some might pop out in the sun

As others have suggested, go with paintless dent removal.
However, you can also pop dents out with a heat lamp and dry ice. If any have creases in them I wouldn't suggest this because it will most likely crack the paint.

My dad never had the money growing up so he improvised and did this all the time instead of paying a body shop.
