These tests are line-of-sight, with no obstructions. The range must meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standards. These standards are used by all manufacturers of radio control equipment.
Radio frequency interference (RFI), which may cause a reduction in range, can come from nearby cell towers, two-way radio signals, power lines, electric motors, etc.
Under normal conditions, you may expect up to 75' (23M) range using a key chain-style remote and up to 200' (61M) using a larger, visor clip-style remote. These distances are line-of-sight and may vary due to weather conditions, terrain, obstacles such as walls, buildings, parked cars, etc.
