The M bus from LAX probably stops first at the new Aviation/Century station, which is now the new but temporary western terminus of the C Line. You can totally get off there too instead of the soon-to-be-renamed Aviation/LAX station. Just dont board the southbound K train.

The geofence may have expanded. Today I needed to cross Sepulveda to the Hyatt to cut Lyft's price from $30 to $10.

BTW, do I read correctly that it's a fixed fare from LAX to Beverly Hills?

Usually call once we get there and wait the few minutes. Coming into T7, we have called when leaving the terminal, saving maybe 2 minutes of wait time.
I dont know about the fixed fare.

There generally are NOT taxis waiting there - think I’ve only seen one waiting there once. It’s a very small area.

That's true for one taxi company, Bell Cab.
Much cheaper than Uber Black (typically around $125), even if curbside pickup was quick.
EDIT: I'm guessing that if you call the taxi stand dispatch number you don't get to choose which taxi company you get?

Heard there were some issues about who got which taxi.

FWIW, you can walk inside from T6 to T7, just follow the signs to UA baggage claim. Then walk outside to the taxi stand. We called for a taxi, dispatch said 5 minutes, but is was there in about 2. Very bad phone connection. He didn't ask for our name. Someone was waiting for a taxi when we got there and one arrived almost immediately. Another person came after us and his taxi came while we were getting into ours.
I was surprised how bad traffic was to our hotel around 8pm.
Uber Black estimated around 5 minutes for curbside pickup (they're often optimistic) and about $140.
