         January 31, 1997 and the Registrant's balance sheet for the

         Item 4.   Description of Securities

                   Not applicable.

         Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

                   Jeffrey A. Gershowitz, Esq., has rendered an opinion
         on the validity of the securities being registered under the
         Plan pursuant to this Registration Statement.  Mr. Gershowitz
         is a vice president and associate general counsel of the Comp-
         U-Card Division of the Registrant.  A copy of this opinion is
         attached as Exhibit 5 to this Registration Statement.  Mr. Ger-
         showitz holds shares of Common Stock and options to acquire
         shares of Common Stock.

         Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers

                   Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the
         State of Delaware (the "GCL") empowers a Delaware corporation
         to indemnify any person who was or is a party to or is threat-
         ened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
         action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, adminis-
         trative or investigative (other than an action by or in the
         right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such per-
         son is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
         corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corpo-
         ration as a director, officer, employee or agent of another










                                         -2-




         corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enter-
         prise.  The indemnity may include expenses (including attor-
         ney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement
         actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection
         with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person
         acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably be-
         lieved to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
         corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or pro-
         ceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's con-
         duct was unlawful.  A Delaware corporation may indemnify direc-
         tors, officers, employees and other agents of such corporation
         in an action by or in the right of the corporation under the
         same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted
         without judicial approval if the person to be indemnified has
         been adjudged to be liable to the corporation.  Where a direc-
         tor, officer, employee or agent of the corporation is success-
         ful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action,
         suit or proceeding referred to above or in defense of any
         claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify
         such person against the expenses (including attorney's fees)
         which he or she actually and reasonably incurred in connection
         therewith.

                   The Registrant's By-Laws contain provisions that pro-
         vide for indemnification of officers and directors to the full
         extent permitted by, and in the manner permissible under, the
         GCL.

                   As permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the GCL, the
         Registrant's Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a
         provision eliminating the personal liability of a director to
         the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for
         breach of fiduciary duty as a director, subject to certain ex-
         ceptions.

         Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed

                   No securities are to be reoffered or resold pursuant
         to this Registration Statement.

         Item 8.   Exhibits

                   See Exhibit Index.

         Item 9.   Undertakings

                   a.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:











                                         -3-




                        (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;

                             (ii)  To reflect in the prospectus any
                                   facts or events arising after the
                                   effective date of this Registration
                                   Statement (or the most recent post-
                                   effective amendment hereof) which,
                                   individually or in the aggregate,
                                   represent a fundamental change in the
                                   information set forth in this Regis-
                                   tration Statement;

                            (iii)  To include any material information
                                   with respect to the plan of distribu-
                                   tion not previously disclosed in this
                                   Registration Statement or any mate-
                                   rial change to such information in
                                   this Registration Statement;

                        provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and
                        (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information re-
                        quired to be included in a post-effective amend-
                        ment by those paragraphs is contained in peri-
                        odic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to
                        Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are
                        incorporated by reference in this Registration
                        Statement.

                   (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any li-
                        ability under the Securities Act, each such
                        post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
                        new registration statement relating to the secu-
                        rities 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 termina-
                        tion of the offering.

              b.   The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that,
                   for purposes of determining any liability under the









                                         -4-




                   Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's an-
                   nual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the
                   Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in
                   this 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 may be permitted to direc-
                   tors, officers and controlling persons of the Regis-
                   trant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or other-
                   wise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
                   opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
                   against public policy as expressed in the Securities
                   Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
                   that a claim for indemnification against such li-
                   abilities (other than the payment by the Registrant
                   of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
                   or controlling person of the Registrant of expenses
                   incurred or paid by a director, officer or control-
                   ling person of the Registrant in the successful de-
                   fense 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 and will be governed by the final adjudication of
                   such issue.

                                                              EXHIBIT 4.2

         _________, ____ 

         Dear (name):

         I am pleased to advise you that the Compensation Committee (the
         "Committee") of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Cendant
         Corporation (the "Corporation") on __________, _____ authorized
         the grant to you of a non-qualified option to purchase ______
         shares of common stock, $.01 par value, of the Corporation (the
         "Common Stock") at a price of $         per share (the "Exercise
         Price"), which the Committee believes to be the fair market value
         of the Common Stock on that date.  Your option has been granted
         under the Corporation's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

         Terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the
         Plan.

         Your option may be exercised under the following terms:

         (a)  This option shall not be transferable except:  by will or
              the laws of descent and distribution; pursuant to a domestic
              relations order, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of
              1986, as amended (the "Code"), or Title I of the Employee
              Retirement Income Security Act, as amended, or the regula-
              tions thereunder; or as a gift to your family members,
              trusts for the benefit of your family members or charities
              or other not-for-profit organizations.

         (b)  This option may be exercisable by you as follows:

              You may purchase ___________ shares of the Common Stock for
              which options are herein granted on or after _______, ____
              and an additional _____ shares of the Common Stock on or
              after each successive ______.

              Your right to exercise this option shall be cumulative.  The
              Committee may at any time accelerate the vesting of this
              option.  This option shall have a term of ten (10) years
              (the "Term"), provided that it shall not be exercisable
              following your termination of employment from the Corpora-
              tion and its Affiliates, except as provided herein.

         (c)  If required by the Corporation, prior to the delivery to you
              of a certificate or certificates representing the shares of
              Common Stock purchased by you upon the exercise of this
              option, you shall have deposited with the Corporation a non-
              disposition letter (restricting disposition by you of the
              shares of Common Stock) in form satisfactory to counsel for
              the Corporation.

         (d)  In the event of any change in corporate capitalization, such
              as a stock split or a corporate transaction, or any merger,
              consolidation, separation, including a spin-off, or other


              distribution of stock or property of the Corporation, any
              reorganization (whether or not such reorganization comes
              within the definition of such term in Section 368 of the
              Code) or any partial or complete liquidation of the Corpora-
              tion, the Committee or Board may make such substitution or
              adjustments, in the number, kind and option price of shares
              subject to this option, and such determination shall be
              final.  

         (e)  If you die while in the employ of the Corporation or any of
              its Affiliates or if your employment with the Corporation
              and its Affiliates is terminated by reason of permanent and
              total disability (under procedures established by the
              Committee), this option shall become immediately exercisable
              in full for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of
              such termination or until the expiration of the Term, which-
              ever period is the shorter, and shall terminate at the end
              of such period.

         (f)  In the event your employment with the Corporation and its
              Affiliates is terminated by reason of Retirement, this
              option, to the extent it was exercisable at the time of such
              Retirement, shall continue to be exercisable for a period of
              five (5) years from the date of such termination or until
              the expiration of the Term, whichever period is the shorter,
              and shall terminate at the end of such period; provided,
              however, that if you die within such period, this option
              shall, notwithstanding the expiration of such period, con-
              tinue to be exercisable to the extent to which it was exer-
              cisable at the time of your death for a period of twelve
              (12) months from the date of your death or until the
              expiration of the Term, whichever period is the shorter, and
              shall terminate at the end of such period.

         (g)  In the event your employment with the Corporation and its
              Affiliates is terminated for any reason other than death,
              permanent and total disability (under procedures established
              by the Committee) or Retirement, this option, to the extent
              it was exercisable at the time of such termination, shall
              continue to be exercisable for a period of three (3) months
              from the date of such termination or until the expiration of
              the Term, whichever period is the shorter, and shall
              terminate at the end of such period; provided, however, that
              if you die within such period, this option shall, notwith-
              standing the expiration of such period, continue to be
              exercisable to the extent to which it was exercisable at the
              time of your death for a period of twelve (12) months from
              the date of your death or until the expiration of the Term,
              whichever period is the shorter, and shall terminate at the
              end of such period.

         (h)  You may pay for shares purchased pursuant hereto (together
              with any withholding taxes due with respect thereto) in cash
              or by check at the time of exercise or with any other legal






                                       -2-


              consideration that may be acceptable to the Committee in its
              sole discretion at the time of exercise.  The delivery to
              you of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this option
              shall be conditional upon your payment of, or your arrange-
              ment to pay, all required withholding taxes in connection
              with such exercise.

         (i)  In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the
              Plan, this Agreement shall control.  In the event of any
              ambiguity in this Agreement, any term not defined in this
              Agreement, or any matters as to which this Agreement is
              silent, the Plan shall govern.

         (j)  In the event of your death, your estate or legal representa-
              tive may exercise this option to the extent then exercis-
              able.

         When you wish to exercise your stock option in whole or in part,
         please refer to the provisions of this letter and correspond in
         writing with the Secretary of the Corporation.  This is not an
         incentive stock option under Section 422A of the Code.

         707 Summer Street
         Stamford, CT  06901

              RE:  Registration Statement on Form S-8

         Gentlemen and Ladies:

         I have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the
         "Registration Statement") to be filed by CUC International Inc.
         (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission in
         connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
         1933, as amended, of 25,000,000 shares of common stock, par
         value $.01 per share, of the Company ("Common Stock"), reserved
         for issuance under the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive Plan (the
         "Plan").

         In connection with the foregoing, I have examined, among other
         things, the Registration Statement, the Plan, and originals or
         copies, satisfactory to me, of all such corporate records and of
         all such agreements, certificates and other documents as I have
         deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion herein-
         after expressed.  In such examination, I have assumed the genu-
         ineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents
         submitted to me as originals and the conformity with the origi-
         nal documents of documents submitted to me as copies.  As to
         various facts material to such opinion, I have, to the extent
         relevant facts were not independently established by me, relied
         on certificates of public officials and certificates and oaths
         and declarations of officers or other representatives of the
         Company.

         Based upon and subject to the foregoing, I am of the opinion
         that:

         1.   The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly
              existing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and

         2.   The 25,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock being
              registered pursuant to the Registration Statement, when
              issued pursuant to the provisions of the Plan and upon pay-
              ment of the purchase price therefor, will be duly autho-
              rized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

         I hereby consent to the filing of a copy of this opinion as an
         exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the use of my name
         wherever appearing in such Registration Statement, including any
         amendment thereto.

         Very truly yours,
