They have SUV's not the greatest selection that you might see at the airport + full four-wheel drive pickups. Last week I checked on the price for a 5-day rental at that local. It was $260 the same price at the airport was over twice as much I figure the inconvenience of getting on a Trax train for $2.50 and sitting in a spacious compartment most of the times and walking the two and a half blocks was worth saving $300 +. Plus what's the deal about having a pickup with no bed cover those ski racks, they rent you on vehicles cost over $18 a day and they're not lockable. You're either skiing on the skis or else you're taking them inside. You can put them inside the vehicle truck. That's not the end of the world.
The HLE used to be at 1148 S Main Street; I used to rent there very often. Within a 15-minute radius they will even pick you up during business hours. They get the bottom of the barrel cars from the SLC airport, though. The two nicest cars I got (this is back in 2012-2013) from the HLE were a well-equipped Malibu and a well-equipped Cruze. It is very convenient but it's best to go in with checked expectations. At some point in 2013 the airport became the same price as (or cheaper than) the HLE so I switched my rentals to there since I was working at SLC.
