What you can do about this first of all is ask the carer (what sort of carer? With what sort of authority to make decisions for your sister?) to explain the reasons against your taking your sister out (out of where? To where?) and listen attentively. You may find that on reflection you agree that taking your sister out, at least for the time being, is not a good idea.
Who is caring for your sister? Does the person caring for your sister have POA? Is your sister competent to make her own decisions at all? What reasons does the carer give you for not wishing to have you take the sister "out". Is Covid-19 a concern here, and is your sister vaccinated now? We need more information. How old are you? How old her your Sister? What is your Sister's condition?
Who is the Carer? Where is your sister in her home or a facility? Is there a POA involved. Can sister make her own decisions? Really need more info to answer this question.
You give no info so it is VERY difficult to address your question. One of the things that I had to realize was at some point taking my Husband out for a ride, something that he loved doing was no longer safe. That realization came to me the day I had to lay on the ground, the caregiver helped him turn, while I pivoted his feet so he could sit in the car. I think that was the last day I took him out. So the question for you is Why will the caregiver not let you take her out? Is it a matter of safety? Is it a matter of agitation? If someone becomes so agitated when taken out of their environment that it takes a day to reorient them. Is taking her out more for you or for your sister? Who is benefiting from the outing?
More info please. Is sis ill? Does she have dementia? Is she mobile? Based on sister's condition there may be very justifiable reasons for sis to stay put. Civic is just one.
It depends on your sister's needs and level of assistance required. Why not take out your sister and her carer to cover all bases? Alternatively, you might offer to sign a waiver that states you are taking full responsibility for your sister whilst in your care. Should anything happen, you may be liable. Another consideration is your sister's rights to do as she pleases. Does she want to be taken out? Can she express her own wishes? Probably need a little more background information here.

Will the carer let you in to see her?
