This is my own experience on how to find a qualified chauffeur service in Sydney.

Here we go! My recommended travel plan after pickup at Sydney Airport
Once you have arrived at Sydney Airport after airport pickup, there are many popular attractions to explore. Sydney Opera House is one of the most iconic and recognizable landmarks in Sydney, with its white sails set against the Sydney Harbour. The Sydney Aquarium is another popular destination, where you can witness some of Australia’s diverse marine life and even take part in interactive experiences such as swimming with dolphins or participating in a shark dive. A trip to Sydney wouldn't be complete without seeing the Sydney Harbour Bridge, which is the world's largest steel arch bridge and one of the city's most recognisable symbols.
Visitors can also pay a visit to Sydney Tower Eye for panoramic views of the city skyline, Luna Park Sydney for amusement park rides and activities suitable for all ages, Taronga Zoo for an up-close look at animals from around the world, and Madame Tussauds Sydney for wax figures of some of the biggest celebrities from music, sports, TV and film. Get a taste of history by exploring The Rocks precinct or Darling Harbour, where people have been living since 1788.
For those more inclined towards nature and outdoor activities, Sydney has plenty to offer with national parks such as
Blue Mountains National Park or
Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park; stunning beaches like
Bondi Beach or Manly Beach; observatories like Sydney Observatory; bushwalks such as Bondi to Coogee Coastal Walk; charming harbourside locations like Balmain East Ferry Wharf and Cockatoo Island; lookouts such as Govett's Leap Lookout; and gardens such as Royal Botanic Garden Sydney.

Domestic Terminal 1 is the largest of Sydney Airport's three terminals and handles more than 19 million passengers each year. It is home to a range of domestic carriers such as Qantas, Virgin Australia Jetstar, Rex Regional Express and Alliance Airlines. It has two sections: T1 Southside which includes gates 12 - 29 and T1 Northside which includes gates 4 - 11. There are two pickup areas offering access to all T1 Southside arrivals: Ground Floor Pickup Area which covers Gates 12 - 29; and Level 6 Pickup Area which can be accessed from car park P7 with Lift L2 or Lift L7.
International Terminal 2 (T2) services over 14 million passengers travelling on international flights annually. Passenger pick-up here is restricted due to security measures in place at Sydney Airport's international terminal; however there are designated pick-up areas available to book online prior to arrival or departure at T2. The International Terminal also has an Arrivals Forecourt area on level 2 where drivers can wait while their passengers complete passport control before being collected by the driver.

Here there is a designated pick-up area outside T3 located on the ground floor near Gate 5 that allows drivers to drop off or collect regional flight passengers in a safe environment with ease.
