Not very far. Even a few blocks could overheat the engine until it dies and needs a complete overhaul.

What is happening when engine coolant disappears from container?

Either you have a leak at the reservoir, or someplace else in your cooling system. You may also have a bad water pump that is leaking. And lastly you may have a blown head gasket that can be very serious. Find this leak ASAP. If you find you have a blown head gasket, stop driving the vehicle until it is repaired. Serious engine damage will occur if you continue to drive it.Either you have a leak at the reservoir, or someplace else in your cooling system. You may also have a bad water pump that is leaking.

Can you drive your 99 Saturn SL2 with a bad water pump?

Definitely not recommended...your engine depends on this pump to circulate cooling water to remove heat. Without it, heat builds and the car will overheat, and may cause permanent, expensive damage to the engine. the question is how much fluid do you lose on your drive as well as do you mind putting water or coolant in the car everytime you crank it up, if its a short drive and you have spare jugs of coolant or water then go ahead, BUT you should NOT do this longer than you have to (til you can get it fixed) bad pump = loss of coolant = overheating = blown head gasket = $800 and up fix
