Default Best way to fix dent on fender

Hi Guys, I'm new.
This morning, while backing out of my driveway, I hit my greenbin and put a small dent just above the front passenger side wheel. My question is, what is the cheapest way to fix this dent? Should I remove the fender and pop it out? And if so, how do I do that? Or will a plunger pull it out? I'd like to do it myself, but if it would be fairly cheap to get a bodyshop to do it, then that might be best. anyone's help is appreciated.

Chris

Well it depends what the dent looks like,if the paint cracked or chipped then
the only solution may be a bodyshop.if it's a bung or flex dent then a reliable
paintless dent removal firm would be far cheaper then a bodyshop.
One other factor would be placement of the dent such as on a crease or
formed ridge then again a bodyshop would be the best solution.

Thanks for the help bigstr. Yeah the dent is on the crease/formed ridge part of the fender The good thing is I just remebered that when I leased this car, I bought this $3500 cosmetic damage insurance, so it shouldn't be anything out of my pocket. Bodyshop it is then.
