About R. Whittington and Grandsons Limited
R. Whittington and Grandsons Limited is a UK-registered passenger transport company based in Reigate, Surrey. Company filings list its main activity under SIC code 49390, "Other passenger land transport," indicating it is involved in moving people by road outside of regular rail services, likely through coaches, minibuses, or contracted transport operations.([ukbizdb.co.uk](https://ukbizdb.co.uk/company/r-whittington-and-grandsons-limited-02705935)) Although it has a relatively low public profile and no widely advertised consumer brand, it appears to function as a specialist or local operator rather than a national mass-market carrier.
A charge from "R WHITTINGTON REIGATE" on your card statement most likely relates to a journey, contract transport service (for example, school runs, group trips, or private hire), or another passenger-transport-related fee processed directly by this company. This could be a one-off payment for a specific trip, an invoice settlement for contracted services, or a pre-booked journey. In some cases, the charge may represent a deposit or part-payment for a larger booking, especially if the amount is relatively high or does not match a typical single fare.
To verify the charge, start by checking any recent transport or group travel you or your family members may have arranged in the Surrey/Reigate area, including school, club, or community transport. Look through your email for invoices, booking confirmations, or correspondence mentioning "R. Whittington and Grandsons" or a similar name. Because publicly listed contact details and a website are not reported in standard company directories,([ukbizdb.co.uk](https://ukbizdb.co.uk/company/r-whittington-and-grandsons-limited-02705935)) you may need to contact the organization or institution that arranged the transport (such as a school or club) and ask for the operator’s details. If you still cannot recognize the transaction, you can query it with your card issuer; they can provide additional data (such as the merchant’s phone number and exact trading name) and help you dispute unauthorized charges.
