No, you can't. Your boss is under no legal obligation to rent *anything* for you: he can assign you to a jobsite 2 hours away and expect you to either make a 4 hour roundtrip commute every day, or to rent your own hotel/motel room to stay in without any support, payment, or reimbursement from your employer. So while you may ask him to do this--since anyone can "ask" for anything--he is not required to do it.
