What you're describing is called a "voluntary repossession," and yes, it's still a repo. The advantage is that you avoid the repo fees ($350 is about average), because the lienholder doesn't have to hire someone to go out and take the car. But it will still show up on your credit.

You may, depending on how much you owe on the car and how much it's worth, do better by selling it. If you sell it, then you can use the proceeds (and possibly some of your own money) to pay off the loan, and your credit report will just reflect that the loan was paid off (in general, this is a good thing). This probably won't be an option if you owe a lot more on the car than what it's worth, though.
