If I am an individual working for an employer through a contracting house, can I claim a travel expense for the distance traveled to a client? Do I need the contracting house need to include a specific travel allowance item on my payslip?

Yes for travel to be claimed, either they need to pay you an allowance and reflect it via source code 3702 or they would need to pay you as an independent contractor with source code 3616, then you will be able to claim travel.
