(1)  Computed pursuant to Rule 457(c) solely for the purpose of calculating 
the registration fee and not as a representation as to any actual
proposed price. This amount is based on the average of the high and low prices
of such Common Stock on August 18, 1995 on the consolidated reporting system.
(2)  The preferred share purchase rights (the "Rights") of Ryder System, Inc.
(the "Company") are attached to and trade with the Common Stock of the Company.
Any value attributable to the Rights is reflected in the market price of the
Common Stock.  Such additional securities are also being registered hereby as
may become issuable under the Plan as a result of applicable anti-dilution
provisions.
(3) Since no separate consideration is paid for the Rights, the registration
fee for such securities is included in the registration fee for the Company's
Common Stock.

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

         Official Florida Statutes, as amended, Chapter 607, Section 607.0850
authorizes the indemnification of officers, directors, employees and agents
under certain circumstances.

         Article IV of the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation
provides that the Company has the power to indemnify its directors, officers,
and other employees to the fullest extent permitted by law.  Article XII of the
Company's By-Laws further provides that the Company shall indemnify to the
fullest extent permitted by current or future legislation or current or future
judicial or administrative decisions (to the extent such future legislation or
decisions permit the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than
permitted prior to such legislation or decisions), each person who is a party
or witness to any proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative) against any liability (including any judgment, settlement,
penalty or fine) or cost, charge or expense (including reasonable expenses
incurred in defending such actions) by reason of the fact that such indemnified
person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, or is or was
an agent as to whom the Company has agreed to grant such indemnification, or is
or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer or employee
of another corporation, trust or enterprise.

         Since November 6, 1964, there has been in effect a directors and
officers liability insurance policy which, commencing November 6, 1986, has
been with the Federal Insurance Company.  The coverage extends to wrongful acts
such as breach of duty and negligence, but does not extend to acts proven to be
dishonest.  Currently, the coverage is subject to a deductible amount of
$750,000 with a policy limit of $25,000,000.  The Company pays the premiums for
this policy.

Item 7.  Exemption from Registration Claimed

         Not applicable.

Item 8.  Exhibits.

         See Exhibit Index.

Item 9.  Undertakings.

         (a)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

                 (1)      To file, during any period in which offers or sales
are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

                          (i)     To include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

                          (ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the
most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represents a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement;





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4

                          (iii)   To include any material information with
respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not
apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to
Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are
incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

                 (2)      That, for the purpose of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.

                 (3)      To remove from registration by means of a
post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain
unsold at the termination of the offering.

         (b)     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for
purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each
filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

         (c)     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Re:      OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR REGISTRATION STATEMENT ON FORM S-8 OF
         RYDER SYSTEM, INC.

Gentlemen:

I have acted as counsel for Ryder System, Inc. (the "Company") in connection
with its registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, through the
filing of a Registration Statement on Form S-8, of 3,300,000 shares of the
Company's common stock, $.50 par value ("Common Stock"), to be offered for
purchase by employees under the Company's 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") and in connection with the issuance by the Company of the preferred
share purchase rights attached to such shares (the "Rights").  In the course
thereof, I have examined such records of the Company, certificates of officers
of the Company, and other documents as I have deemed relevant and necessary as
a basis for the opinions set forth below.

In giving the opinions expressed below, I do not purport to be an expert in the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Florida and the United States.

Based upon the foregoing, and relying upon statements of fact contained in the
documents referred to, I am of the opinion that:

1.       All necessary corporate action with respect to the authorization of
the shares of Common Stock and the Rights under the Plan has been taken by the
Company; and

2.       Such shares of Common Stock, when issued or transferred from treasury
shares upon exercise of options or awards under the Plan, and the Rights issued
in connection with such shares, will be legally issued, fully paid, and non-
assessable.
