You are joking, aren't you?
Assuming you mean from your home office to the client's site, I don't think you will get any sympathy from either client or agent for treating that as overtime. If your travelling time is excessive, you should really have factored that into your rate negotiations.Comment

You said that you objected *in principle* to the idea of not being paid for your overtime. It was this point that I was replying to.
You didn't say that you thought that as the agency had made a mistake with the contract that they should stick by it. (You are right, legally they should, but as this will cause them to run your contract at a loss they will have little choice but to give you notice if you won't accept a change, is this a 'win' for you?)
