Those are mostly taxes, in NY the sales tax on the entire lease amount needs to be paid upfront when the lease is signed. Many roll the taxes into the lease.
While the circumstances would be rare, if the insurance payout is more than what is owed to the lease company, the lease company will cut you a check for the difference. The process is not different than putting a down payment on a vehicle when financing.
