a lot but interstellar travel?	Could any one body of Mercs afford their
own
transport?

Yep, because they include it in their fees (explicitly or as part of a
higher profit margin).	If you	mean "can they afford their own
transport
vessel", well, they don't have to own one, just charter one, since they
won't be using it all the time.  However, there are mercenary warships. 
A
number of the ITT Nightvision / Night Music / Night Eyes series are in
service with mercenary corporations (of course, calling them "warships"
is
rather stretching the term--they're sensor platforms plus a hot main
drive).
The Kinetic Elench will operate as raiders under letters of marque and
reprisal; Murphy's Lawyers have three covert ops cruisers and several
smaller vessels; and so forth.
