I need to cancel a car rental reservation I made with europcar.com (which is cancellable for free according to their T&C!). - When I try from the website it fails because the email I used has a + in it, they have some bug in their server-side URL decoding and it gets converted into a space

They're not urlencoding your email address. Not technically a bug so much as a logic failure.

They are URL encoding it, but then on the server they are doing something weird and converting %2B to a space. They are however _not_ double-decoding, because %252B gets decoded to %2B and not to a +.
