If the coolant is low but above the minimum mark, then you are still fine to run the car for a few days, but if the coolant is below the minimum mark, please do not even try to drive your car like that so you don't knock your engine.

The main concern with letting a car sit in the short term is a dead battery — the best way to prevent that is to drive your car at least once every two weeks. Driving regularly also prevents your tires from degrading, and it keeps all the moving parts in your car lubricated.
