The obvious solution is to send Mrs Fox to do it, but just in case she rumbles my arch plan:

How do they work? Do you have to insert a credit card to release one? Does the rack take cash?

Thank you
I have now achieved 3M miler status on Delta so here's my opinion
The carts have escalated from $2 to $6 now. Its easy to use a credit card. Insert cart, look at the monitor, then pull your cart out. Simple.
Or if you want to be frugal (cheap) like me, when you get to the baggage claim area, take a quick look outside. Often I've found a cart just sitting there that someone used.
