I'm inclined to agree with NLUK on the wider remote point. The future will be a blend of remote / on-site and not an all or nothing. I don't see contracts changing wildly to allow the claiming of travel expenses - it will either be built into the rate or agreed with the client on a case-by-case basis. Most contracts I've worked under to date already allow for this.
The OP will need to see what their contract says and talk to their client. They won't get paid without client agreement so it's best to talk to them first before getting uppity over a rejected claim later. If it's a big deal to them and makes the contract no longer financially viable (as opposed to just a reduced level of profit) then they need to be prepared to walk away.
