Also - UCD sport won't cover us insurance wise for foreign trips at all, so I don't think anyone UCD related would cover the vehicles.
On the Alps - I would hope to have a car and drive out for 10/11 days. Slovenia or France would be the plan, for a first-time Alps trip for some. However, no idea yet, and exam timetables don't come out for another month, so won't know for a while.
