The lot probably won't just let you forfeit your car for free, they will charge (probably overcharge) to tow it away for you on top of the lot fees but it never hurts to ask. If it comes to that, a number of charities will tow your car for free and give you a tax receipt of a few hundred dollars but I would call around to a few scrap yards first to see what they would give you for the car and then decide what is most cost effective. The insurance company can't force you to keep your car at the lot since they are not paying you for it so it won't become their property nor will they be paying the fees. I would email the insurance company, so you have written confirmation, that you intend to move the vehicle immediately due to ongoing costs and they can contact you for the vehicles final whereabouts.
