Yes.



Your upcoming marriage is irrelevant to the question.


A piece of cake in the US.


That'll depend on her insurance company... she should ask them.

Under state laws, yes.
Have your FI add you to her auto insurance as a covered driver.

Most US auto insurance policies have what's called a standard "omnibus clause" that automatically covers any bona fide temporary guests operating the motor vehicle (without having to add you onto the policy). Don't rely on my word as policies vary, but a quick phone call to her insurance company should confirm whether or not you'd be covered as a temporary guest.

Would that include fully comprehensive cover or just limited liability? We have the same issue in a few months time. I guess I should call our broker and ask their advice.
